FTP, name this man who developed salvage ethnography with his colleague Alfred Kroeber.
Though this man was better known for studying a different group, two of his late works are a study of German society, including Towards an Understanding of Germany. He wrote about the tendency to venerate elders and accord them special prestige in a work on "Age Societies," and wrote about evolution of social hierarchy and organization in The Origin of the State. His best known works argued that cultural traits frequently cross boundaries, making cultural evolutionism an untenable theory – those works include Primitive Religion and Primitive Society. Known for fieldwork among the Crow Indians, he notably argued that anthropologists should preserve aspects of indigenous culture before they disappear.
