Derek Freeman is the author, Margaret Mead and Samoa I'm not sure how long he waited to publish. There were some strong hints in the introductory anthopology course I took rather a long ago shortly before he published about her reliability. Perhaps someone here can furnish me with the name of an author of some decades ago who wrote a much-neglected study on the correlation of premarital chastity with cultural vitality. I think his last name began with an "E" and he used just initials for the first name.

The author I was trying to recall is J.D. Unwin (a “u”
not an “e”) Sex and Culture, a much ignored book he
published in 1934.
