Meyer Fortes (April 25, 1906 - January 27, 1983) was a South African anthropologist known for his work among the Tallensi and Ashanti in Ghana. Initially trained in psychology, he applied the concept of 'person' in his structural and functional analyses of kinship, family, and ancestor worship, establishing a standard for studies on African social organization. His influential book, 'Oedipus and Job in West African Religion' (1959), combined his interests and set a benchmark for comparative ethnology. He also extensively wrote on issues related to primogeniture, kingship, and divination.
