Answer
Claude Lévi-Strauss, a renowned French anthropologist and ethnologist, was heavily influenced by Marcel Mauss' work. Lévi-Strauss' structuralist approach in analyzing social and cultural phenomena drew inspiration from Mauss' concept of the gift and the idea of reciprocity in exchange systems. Mauss' emphasis on social relations, rituals, and symbolic exchanges shaped Lévi-Strauss' understanding of societies as systems of interconnected elements.
