Homo bioculturalis sapiens Juan Carlos Zavala Olalde

The book deals with the synthetic explanation of the human being as a biocultural entity. It presents it as a process, that is, a becoming in each of its components. These components are: the cultural, the social, the psychological and the biological. This is the order in which they are presented in order to help in the explanation of their unity in our species. The introduction presents the way to understand the human being as a process and in the first chapter the Western problem of only making analysis of its study is approached. The following chapters, in the mentioned order, are dedicated to define, from a complexity and processual perspective, the components that are integrated at an evolutionary, historical, ontogenetic and experiential level in the Homo bioculturalis sapiens. The text concludes by pointing out the way in which we must scientifically do anthropology, understood in its broadest sense as the study of the human being.
