Napoleon Chagnon, an American cultural anthropologist, conducted groundbreaking research among the Yanomamö tribe in the Amazon. He utilized an evolutionary perspective to examine social behavior, particularly violence within tribal communities. His renowned work, “Yanomamö: The Fierce People,” published in 1967, delved into these concepts and gained widespread acclaim. Chagnon is recognized as a pioneering figure in scientific anthropology, despite controversy surrounding his hypotheses on the roots of aggression. His insights into tribal dynamics have significantly influenced the field of anthropology.
