«Nuestra especie» is the anthropology essay by Marvin Harris, published by Alianza in paperback (548 pages, in Spanish).
The anthropologist Marvin Harris investigates the origins of humanity and the big questions about our identity, such as when and how human life emerged or what the first societies and languages were like. Facing the debate between the innate and the learned, he analyzes which aspects of the human condition are inscribed in the genes and which depend on cultural heritage, in a journey that starts from concrete cases to present a broad panorama of the material and cultural evolution of the human being.
The work is part of the Libros Singulares (Ls) collection by Alianza. The original title of the work is «Our Kind».
Recommended for readers interested in anthropology, human evolution, and scientific debates about 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.
