Sir James George Frazer

Sir James George Frazer was a pioneering anthropologist and scholar best known for his work on mythology, religion, and rituals. His most famous book, "The Golden Bough," analyzed common themes and symbols across various cultures, revealing how ancient peoples explained natural phenomena and sought to understand life, death, and renewal. Frazer’s research helped shape modern studies of religion and comparative mythology by highlighting universal patterns and the influence of shared human instincts. His work remains influential in understanding how myth and ritual reflect deep psychological and social functions.
