(1818–81), American anthropologist, born near Aurora, N.Y., and educated at Union College. He began practicing law in 1844. He subsequently became interested in the culture of the North American Indians and eventually devoted most of his attention to anthropological research under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution and the U.S. government. A study of the kinship systems prevailing among the American Indians led him to carry out an exhaustive investigation of the kinship systems of the entire world, which resulted in his monumental work, Systems of Consanguinity and Affinity of the Human Family (1870). A better-known work, Morgan’s Ancient Society (1877), is a study of social evolution in which Morgan set out his theory—subsequently the cause of much controversy among scholars—that the human family and human mating systems have evolved through fixed, successive stages of promiscuity, group marriage, polygamy, and monogamy.
