Born 1947

Gregory Forth is a Canadian anthropologist and Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. He is professor emeritus of anthropology at the University of Alberta, where he taught from 1986 to 2019. Forth received his DPhil from the University of Oxford in 1980. Forth's work focuses on the peoples of eastern Indonesia (especially the Nagé and Kéo of Flores Island) and spans religion, kinship and marriage, ethnozoology, mythology and metaphor, and human-animal relations. His books include Nagé Birds (2004) and Between Ape and Human (2022), the latter presenting his hypothesis that Homo floresiensis may survive on Flores based on indigenous accounts he collected prior to the 2003 fossil discovery.
