Élie Reclus
Élie Reclus (; 16 June 1827, Sainte-Foy-la-Grande – 11 February 1904, Brussels) was a French ethnographer who studied what were then called primitive cultures, and an anarchist.
Élie Reclus was the oldest of five brothers, born to a Protestant minister and his wife. His middle three brothers, including the well known anarchist Élisée Reclus, all became geographers.
In 1866 a feminist group called the "Société pour la Revendication du Droit des Femmes" began to meet at the
family to Belgium. His brother Élie Reclus was at the university already, teaching religion. Élisée Reclus continued to write, contributing several important articles and essays to French, German and English scientific journals. He was awarded the 1894 Patron's Gold Medal of the Royal Geographical Society.
In 1905, shortly before his death, Reclus completed "L'Homme et la terre", in which he rounded out his previous works by considering humanity's development relative to its geographical environment.
