Marcel Mauss, a prominent French sociologist and anthropologist known as the “father of French ethnology,” was instrumental in connecting sociology and anthropology through his scholarly contributions. His analyses of cultural practices such as magic, sacrifice, and gift exchange in different societies have left a lasting impact on anthropology, influencing figures like Claude Lévi-Strauss. His influential work, The Gift (1925), remains one of his most celebrated publications.
