George Murdock
George Peter ("Pete") Murdock (May 11, 1897 – March 29, 1985), also known as G. P. Murdock, was an American anthropologist who was professor at Yale University and University of Pittsburgh. He is remembered for his empirical approach to ethnological studies and his study of family and kinship structures across differing cultures. His 1967 ''Ethnographic Atlas'' dataset on more than 1,200 pre-industrial societies is influential and frequently used in social science research. He also created the ''Standard Cross-Cultural Sample'' with Douglas R. White.
He is also known for his work as an FBI informant on his fellow anthropologists during McCarthyism. Provided by Wikipedia
