In this concise little essay Sahlins traces the Hobbesian view of bestial human nature (and modern genetic Determinists as well) back to Thucydides, proceeds to poke many a hole in the concept; shows us other groups who thrive with important kinship relations, questions the modern state and opens the door to an anarchistic conceptualization of human relations.
