Santiago Genovés Tarazaga was a Spanish-born Mexican anthropologist affiliated with the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). He is best remembered for the 1973 "Peace Project" experiment that he designed, in which he and ten other people aimed to sail on the Acali raft from the Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago in Africa, to Cozumel island, Mexico. He hoped that this experiment would shed light on the causes of violence in humans and on how it could be prevented. The 101-day experiment, frequently dubbed the "Sex Raft" by the media, was the subject of the 2018 documentary film The Raft, by Marcus Lindeen.
