Preferred term

Elaine Morgan  

Definition

  • For the first 50 years of her life, Elaine Morgan (née Floyd) did not seem like someone who would be mentioned in an anthropology class, but 30 years after that it would be a rare introductory class on human evolution where at least one student did not ask about her ideas. Born in 1920 in Pontypridd, Wales, Morgan was good at school but leaned toward literature rather than science. [Source: Encyclopedia of Anthropology; Morgan, Elaine (1920–)]
