	Lewis H. Morgan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lewis Henry Morgan (November 21, 1818 – December 17, 1881) his professional life was in the field of law.
		Morgan became interested in the Native Americans of his region and helped form a club (Grand Order of the Iroquois) to promote the interests of the local group, the Iroquois.
		Morgan viewed the technological progress as a force behind the social progress, and any social change - in social institutions, organisations or ideologies have their beginning in the change of technology.

		Morgan was interested in social organization, and developed a theory correlating kinship terminologies with forms of marriage and rules of descent, holding that matriarchal patterns had originally prevailed over all other kinship patterns.
		Morgan’s work was accused of being overly speculative, and provoked a reaction against theories of cultural evolution within American anthropology that lasted well into 20th cent.
		Ethnographic and archaeological research has invalidated Morgan’s specific evolutionary models, but his tireless research and his wide-ranging theoretical interests are credited with serving to advance the new field of anthropology.

		Morgan was almost immediately entrusted with another expedition by Modyford against the Spaniards, and proceeded to ravage the coast of Cuba.
		The Spaniards on their side were moreover acting in the same way, and a new commission was given to Morgan, as commander-in-chief of all the ships of war in Jamaica, to levy war on the Spaniards and destroy their ships and stores, the booty gained in the expedition being the only pay.
		Morgan, however, soon succeeded in gaining the kings favor, and in the autumn of 1674 he was appointed lieutenant-governor of Jamaica and was knighted, leaving England in December.

		Morgan was fascinated with the Native American tribe Iroquois and gathered information on their customs, language and other aspects of the culture.
		Morgan believed that “most civilized” family structure is patriarchal monogamy, where a male is the head of a married couple and their descent is reckoned in the male line.
		Morgan believed in a hierarchy of evolutionary development from “savagery” to “barbarism” to “civilization.” According to Morgan, the crucial distinction between civilized society and earlier societies is private property.

		Lewis Henry Morgan's work on the evolution of the family only passingly mentions anything so dramatic as marriage by capture; he is, in fact, the most sober of the matriarchal theorists.
		Morgan was the only one of the group to observe a functioning matrilineal society in the field, and had, perhaps, less need to rely on preconceptions and his imagination.
		Nonetheless, Morgan accepts uncritically Bingham's assertion of incestuous marriages between full brothers and sisters at the upper reaches of Polynesian aristocracy (ibid.), seizing upon it as evidence for survival of the consanguine family in the era of the punaluan, something for which he was criticized by Wake (Wake 1967: 21).

		But in Morgan's time, and certainly in his usage, they were technical terms and did not have all the pejorative connotations they later acquired.
		Morgan's seven stages, partly for reasons of convenience and clarity, were defined mainly with reference to elements of technology.
		Yet the criticism later heaped on Morgan for this and other failings was not quite fair; he himself had looked forward to a time when fuller evidence would allow more satisfactory classifications than his own.
