Marvin Harris investigates the origins of human societies and languages, and which aspects of behavior are inscribed in genes or belong to cultural heritage. His analysis, global in scope, combines biology, society and evolution to offer an overview of humanity's material and cultural development.

Recommended for readers interested in anthropology, human evolution and the debate on nature and culture.
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.
