ISBN10: 0816507902, ISBN13: 9780816507900, [publisher: University of Arizona Press, Tucson] Hardcover Hardcover. The ""Crow-Omaha problem"" has perplexed anthropologists since it was first described by Lewis Henry Morgan in 1871. During his worldwide survey of kinship systems, Morgan learned with astonishment that some Native American societies call some relatives of different generations by the same terms. Why? Intergenerational ""skewing"" in what came to be named ""Crow"" and ""Omaha"" systems has provoked a wealth of anthropological arguments, from Rivers to Radcliffe-Brown, from Lowie to Levi-Strauss, and many more.

For anthropologists, cracking the Crow-Omaha problem is critical to understanding how social systems transform from one type into another, both historically in particular settings and evolutionarily in the broader sweep of human relations. This volume examines the Crow-Omaha problem from a variety of perspectives - historical, linguistic, formalist, structuralist, culturalist, evolutionary, and phylogenetic.
