When anthropologist E. E. Evans-Pritchard studied the Nuer of south Sudan in the 1930s, he expected to find a strict patrilineal descent system. Instead, he found that they placed just as much significance on kinship relations through marriage as kinship relations through descent. Forty years later, anthropologist Kathleen Gough revisited the study and suggested possible explanations for why the Nuer had departed from their normal patrilineal kinship model. Identify what was happening in the 1930s that likely influenced Nuer kinship in this way.
