    In a study observing the culture and history of the Yanomamo, findings from anthropologist Napoleon Chagnon reveals how violence can create new allies.

In answering his own thesis questions, Tanner Van Nest inserts another element to his thesis, “we will be able to infer the cultural impact of not only a major dynasty but the fall of prominence of a majority cultural group of…
