George Thompson Basden was a British missionary and anthropologist who worked in Nigeria in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is known for his work on the Igbo people, and in his book "Among the Ibibio" he proposed the idea that the Igbo people were the descendants of one of the "lost tribes" of Israel.

Basden's theory was based on similarities he observed between certain Igbo customs and practices and those of the ancient Israelites, such as the practice of male circumcision, the observance of certain dietary laws, and the use of certain traditional customs and rituals.

He noted that the Igbo people avoided eating certain foods that were considered unclean or taboo, such as pork, and that they observed certain rituals and customs related to food preparation and consumption.

George Thompson Basden suggested that Christian missionaries working among the Igbo people should study the Levitical laws of the Bible in order to understand the customs and practices of the Igbo people. He believed that by understanding the laws and customs of the ancient Israelites, the missionaries would be better equipped to understand and appreciate the customs and practices of the Igbo people.

Basden believed that the similarities between the Levitical laws and the customs of the Igbo people were evidence that the Igbo people were descendants of the "lost tribes" of Israel.
