Cannibali e re: Le origini delle culture

Harris's analysis links seemingly taboo practices with societal hierarchy. I'm curious what historical or anthropological insights led him to make these connections.

Some of his arguments challenged my assumptions about human history, especially around rituals and social structures. Did others feel persuaded or skeptical about his interpretations?

With such a broad scope, I wonder what criteria he used to select certain societies and practices for his comparisons. Was it driven by available evidence or a specific narrative focus?
