Despite its importance in understanding the social relations of
labour little attention has been paid by Western Marxists to
evolutionary theory. Taking as a starting point an unfinished essay
by Engels, the author argues that the human species must be seen as
discontinuous with its nearest biological ancestors ? that a
qualitative distinction was brought about by social labour. It is
argued that the most likely forms of human organization were
co-operative and field studies are discussed which apparently
provide evidence for tool use and linguistic ability among the
higher primates. The relationship between hand and brain in terms
of Marxist psychology is also elaborated.
