NOBLE SAVAGES
CHAGNON, NAPOLEON
Napoleon Chagnon began his research on the Yanomamö in 1964, ultimately spending the equivalent of five
years among them, one of the last isolated large tribal groups still living in conditions found at the beginning of
the agricultural revolution. His groundbreaking bestselling book Yanomamö made Chagnon a household name
among students of anthropology. Rather than finding the Yanomamö to be Rousseau’s “noble savages,” he
discovered them to be a violent society. Men who killed others had the most wives and offspring, their violence
giving them an advantage in evolutionary terms. The prime reasons for violence, Chagnon found, were to
avenge deaths and, if possible, abduct women. Politically correct cultural anthropologists in the United States
refused to accept Chagnon’s empirical observations, and for his scientific integrity he was attacked by those who
could not acknowledge an evolutionary basis for human behavior. Chagnon was the subject of a scathing
popular book, and the American Anthropological Association condemned him, but later reversed its
condemnation after undertaking a more careful review.
