En 'Caníbales y reyes', Marvin Harris explora los orígenes de la cultura humana, analizando cómo las prácticas culturales, a menudo desconcertantes, son adaptaciones a condiciones ecológicas específicas. Harris examina por qué ciertas culturas permiten el infanticidio femenino o por qué los hombres se consideran superiores a las mujeres, demostrando que las pautas culturales son parte de un proceso global de adaptación de las sociedades a su entorno. Este estudio brillante y profundo ofrece una interpretación magistral de la evolución de las culturas y sociedades humanas, destacando la primacía de los factores culturales sobre los genéticos o psicológicos.
Marvin Harris was an American anthropologist. He was born in Brooklyn, New York City. A prolific writer, he was highly influential in the development of cultural materialism. In his work, he combined Karl Marx's emphasis on the forces of production with Thomas Malthus's insights on the impact of demographic factors on other parts of the sociocultural system.
