Claude Lévi-Strauss (French: Claude Lévi-Strauss, November 28, 1908 - October 30, 2009) was a famous French anthropologist who, together with Fraser and Boas, is known as the "Father of Modern Anthropology". The structuralism and mythology he constructed not only deeply influenced anthropology, but also had a profound impact on sociology, philosophy, linguistics and other disciplines.
