Essere Paul Shepard. Verso un'ecologia del collasso

Abstract

Paul Shepard, primatologist, naturalist, ecologist, has written several books on the evolutionary relationship between man and the environment. In The Tender Carnivore he compares the cultures of hunter-gatherers and those of Neolithic farmers. His contribution is very important and has inspired much subsequent anthropological literature. Today, fifty years after the book's release, its relevance is evident and central in the understanding of the contemporary world.
