Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. One of historys greatest anthropologistsand a rip-roaring storytellerrecounts his life with an endangered Amazonian tribe and the mind-boggling controversies his work ignited (Steven Pinker, author of The Better Angels of Our Nature).Napoleon Chagnons Noble Savages is the remarkable memoir of a life dedicated to scienceand a revealing account of the clash between science and political activism. When Napoleon Chagnon arrived in Venezuelas Amazon region in 1964 to study the Yanomamoe Indians, he expected to find Rousseaus noble savage. Instead he found a shockingly violent society. He spent years living among the Yanomamoe, observing their often tyrannical headmen, learning to survive under primitive and dangerous conditions. When he published his observations, a firestorm of controversy swept through anthropology departments. Chagnon was vilified by other anthropologists, condemned by his professional association (which subsequently rescinded its reprimand), and ultimately forced to give up his fieldwork. Throughout his ordeal, he never wavered in his defense of science. In 2012 he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences. Synopsis coming soon.
