Marvin Harris (August 18, 1927 - October 25, 2001) was an American anthropologist and sociologist known for establishing cultural materialism. He conducted fieldwork in the Amazon Basin and other locations in Brazil, as well as in Mozambique, focusing on the concept of culture. Harris authored the widely circulated anthropology manual 'Introducción a la Antropología General,' which downplayed biological anthropology and argued against the existence of human races. His work includes discussions on human paleontology, notably contrasting with Carleton S. Coon's views on the existence of racial groups.
