Cannibals and Kings
By:Marvin Harris
Published on 2011-07-13 by Vintage

In this brilliant and profound study the distinguished American anthropologist Marvin Harris shows how the endless varieties of cultural behavior -- often so puzzling at first glance -- can be explained as adaptations to particular ecological conditions. His aim is to account for the evolution of cultural forms as Darwin accounted for the evolution of biological forms: to show how cultures adopt their characteristic forms in response to changing ecological modes. |[A] magisterial interpretation of the rise and fall of human cultures and societies.| -- Robert Lekachman, Washington Post Book World |Its persuasive arguments asserting the primacy of cultural rather than genetic or psychological factors in human life deserve the widest possible audience.| -- Gloria Levitas The New Leader |[An] original and...urgent theory about the nature of man and at the reason that human cultures take so many diverse shapes.| -- The New Yorker |Lively and controversial.| -- I.
