About This Item
New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 2001. Book. Near Fine. Soft cover. pictorial paper cover, xxvii, 417 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations, map, index. first printing in paperback, "When the Yanomami were first encountered by Napoleon Chagnon, Jacques Lizot, and other preeminent anthropologists in the 1960s, the "discovery" of their ferocious warfare and sexual competition revolutionized modern anthropology as profoundly as Franz Boaz and Margaret Mead's findings had done nearly a half-century before. Their brutal wars and mating habits spawned countless films and books, the most prominent being Chagnon's The Fierce People, which sold more than a million copies and influenced the nascent field of sociobiology. To Chagnon and his colleagues, the Yanomami represented the last frontier, their habitat the final place where one could observe the behavior of man in a pristine setting untouched by outside influence.".
