(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Manuela Carneiro da Cunha is a Portuguese-Brazilian anthropologist, who is known for her studies of indigenous people in Brazil. Early life and training Maria Manuela Ligeti Carneiro da Cunha was born in Cascais, Portugal on 16 July 1943. Her parents were Hungarian Jews who had left Hungary following the rise of Nazi Germany. Her family moved to São Paulo in Brazil when she was 11 years old. After completing high school, she entered the University of São Paulo to study physics but almost immediately moved to Paris, where she graduated in pure mathematics in 1967 at the Paris-Saclay Faculty of Sciences. Between 1967 and 1969 she completed a course in anthropology under the guidance of leading anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss. She has written: "I introduced myself as being from Brazil, which visibly did not impress him. I then tried another route, and told him that I was trained in pure mathematics. That was when he was really interested." Returning to Brazil, she obtained a doctorate in social anthropology at the University of Campinas, defending in 1976 the thesis The dead and the others: an analysis of the funerary system and the notion of person among the Krahó Indians. She then went on to do post-doctoral work at the University of Cambridge in the UK and at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University in California.
