MARQUEZ MUNOZ, Jorge Federico. Genesis and power at primitve societies. Berman and Girard. Estud. polít. (Méx.) [online]. 2017, n.42, pp.59-74. ISSN 0185-1616.

The present essay begins with a brief introduction of Morris Berman and René Girard. I described the hominization theories of both authors. From hominization came out the main features of primitive societies. For Girard, these features are: an order of interdicts and ritual sacrifices. For Berman, the main features of primitive men are: trust to environment and to other people, and unattachment to other people, things and ideologies.

Keywords : Primitive societies; violence; sacred; mimesis; unattachment.
