We need secondary history of struc anth sources to back up claims like "Lévi-Straus' theory was unfortunately debunked by others" and numerous other such claims 128.214.200.181 (talk) 09:51, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The introductory description - which limits structuralism to Lévi-Strauss - is factually incorrect. It omits any reference to Radcliffe-Brown, any of the U Chicago people, or V.

The article includes fundamental misunderstandings about Hegel's thoughts on dialectics. Reference should be made to immanent critique and unity of opposites rather than "thesis, antithesis, synthesis" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.39.146.44 (talk) 01:43, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The block quote in the overview section is taken from this website which sources it as being from "Barnard, A. 2000. History and Theory in Anthropology. Cambridge: CUP." I don't know the citation standards for quoting via another source, but for now I'll update it to cite the website. LWmelon (talk) LWmelon (talk) 17:18, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Upon looking closer, the entire first two sections are copy-pasted directly from that website LWmelon (talk) LWmelon (talk) 17:22, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
