HE WAS AROUND FOR SUCH A LONG TIME ,YOU WOULD THINK HE DOES NOT LIVE ANY LONGER.BUT HE WAS.WITH HIS NOVICE THOUGHTS AND NOVELTY OF WORDS.AND NOW THEY SAY HE'S GONE.
CLAUDE LEVY STRAUSS,A STRUCTURAL ANTHROPOLOGIST,UNDER INFLUENCE OF ROMAN JACOBSON,WITH HIS THOUGHTS AS A PHILOSOPHER AND MAN OF LETTERS,RECOGNIZES IN ANTHROPOLOGY AND ETHNOLOGY.
AND HIS FEELINGS AS LOVE OF HUMANITY.

HE SEARCHED FOR THE UNDERLYING PATTERNS OF THOUGHTS
IN THE OLD FORMS OF HUMAN ACTIVITIES AND TRIBAL LIFE,
IN BRAZIL,
IN U.S.A.,
IN SORBONNE AND COLLEGE DE FRANCE.
HE LOOKED FOR REAL MEN AND WOMEN.
