Lo leí hace mucho tiempo y me encantó. Hoy lo veo algo más moderadamente, pero sigue siendo muy bueno. Es verdad que ahora Harris me parece un tanto cascarrabias (¿no encontró nada bueno en su país?), que se nota que ha pasado el tiempo y han aparecido problemas nuevos (aunque, en verdad, los problemas que se plantean aquí siguen estando, incluso agravados) y, en fin, que sigo desconfiando de las interpretaciones meramente materialistas y mecanicistas de las cosas. Pero este libro sigue siendo muy atractivo, y su lectura sigue produciendo malestar en el lector, porque se reconoce con facilidad lo que se dice, a veces como el origen de problemas actuales y a veces, como queda dicho, como los mismos problemas de hace cuarenta años que siguen ahí. A destacar la enorme capacidad del antropólogo de obtener datos de lecturas muy amplias y diversas y, de ellos, obtener conclusiones generales: eso es lo que diferencia al sabio del simple profesor.
