Napoleon Alphonseau Chagnon ( ;〔Though the name ''Chagnon'' is French, he uses the American pronunciation.〕 born August 27, 1938) is an American anthropologist, professor of anthropology at the University of Missouri in Columbia and member of the National Academy of Sciences. Chagnon is known for his long-term ethnographic field work among the Yanomamö, a society of indigenous tribal Amazonians, in which he used an evolutionary approach to understand social behavior in terms of genetic relatedness. His work has centered around the analysis of violence among tribal peoples, and, using socio-biological analyses, he has advanced the argument that among the Yanomami violence is fueled by an evolutionary process in which successful warriors have more offspring. His 1967 ethnography ''Yanomamö: The Fierce People'' has become a bestseller and is frequently assigned in introductory anthropology courses. Admirers have him as having been a pioneer of scientific anthropology. Chagnon has been called the "most controversial anthropologist" in the United States in a ''New York Times Magazine'' profile preceding the publication of Chagnon's most recent book, ''Noble Savages: My Life Among Two Dangerous Tribes—the Yanomamö and the Anthropologists'', a scientific memoir. ==Early life and education== Chagnon was born in Port Austin, Michigan and was the second of twelve children.〔 After enrolling at the Michigan College of Mining and Technology in 1957, he transferred to the University of Michigan after his freshman year and there received a bachelor's degree in 1961, an M.A. in 1963, and a Ph.D. in 1966 under the tutelage of Leslie White.〔 Based on seventeen months of fieldwork begun in 1964, Chagnon's thesis examined the relationship between kinship and the social organization of Yanomamö villages.〔
