Sociologist Anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss first published Structural Anthropology in his native People from france in 1958. Not only did the reserve transform the self-discipline of anthropology, it also energized a movements (called structuralism) that arrived to dominate the humanities and public sciences for a era. Linguistic structuralism studies the meaning of language centered not merely on explanations, but also on the connections of words and does sound to each other. Lévi-Strauss's insight was to see that idea of structuralism in linguistics could be applied to anthropology as well. He saw that although some cultures are very different from others, they all seem to own certain inner structural relationships in keeping. By tracing these set ups across ethnicities, he tried out to answer nothing less than the eternal question: "What is man?" Structural Anthropology has been both highly praised and harshly criticized, but even Lévi-Strauss's critics realize the importance of his work.
