The Excluded Third: Contribution to a Dialectical Anthropology

In view of the new forays from biology into the Humanities, this book aims not only to demonstrate the inconsistencies of the theory of evolution in addressing cultural dynamics but also to offer an alternative that begins from a resumption of the dialogue between anthropology and historical materialism in which dialectics re-presents itself to anthropology from different premises and the role of symbolic language within materialism is reevaluated.
