He served as provost of King's College, Cambridge from 1966 to 1979. He was also president of the Royal Anthropological Institute from 1971 to 1975.' (Wiki) ***'In these three essays, Dr Leach examines the implications of the study of myth seen as the expression of unresolved conflict in a given social situation. In the first two essays on Genesis and the story of Solomon, Dr Leach elucidates Hebrew myths in terms of Israel's conflicting needs for racial purity on the one hand and accommodation with other Palestinian peoples on the other. In the third essay he examines anthropologists' reactions to the problem of whether or not primitive peoples understand the father's role in procreation, and reaches conclusions on "Virgin Birth" which are related to concerns about kinship and incest exemplified in the first two studies. This brilliant collection will be welcomed by both anthropologists and general readers as a coherent statement of the most exciting field in contemporary social science.'
