Marvin Harris, an acclaimed anthropologist, delves into the roots of cultures in his renowned work, "Cannibals and Kings." As I revisit this timeless piece, I find myself contemplating the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. You can access the book for free on Google Books, and it's worth a read. Personally, my interest in this subject waned in the 1990s, and I'm aware that much has transpired since then in the realm of cultural origins. It's likely that subsequent archaeological findings may have challenged or reshaped some of Harris's arguments. Nevertheless, the book remains captivating, offering readers fresh perspectives that encourage us to view the world around us through new lenses.
