In "Our Kind", the prestigious anthropologist Marvin Harris addresses questions and enigmas that affect all of humanity. From a panhuman, biosocial, and evolutionary perspective, Harris presents an overview of the material and cultural evolution of man, exploring the first human societies and languages, and analyzing which aspects of the human condition are inscribed in our genes and which are part of our cultural heritage. This volume is a rigorous compendium of the current state of our knowledge about the identity of our species.
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.
