George Peter Murdock was a prominent American anthropologist known for his empirical research on family and kinship structures in various cultures. He created the influential 1967 Ethnographic Atlas dataset, which is a valuable resource in social science research, covering over 1,200 pre-industrial societies. Despite controversy surrounding his involvement as an FBI informant during McCarthyism, Murdock’s scholarly contributions continue to be significant in the field of anthropology.
