They are facts which come more especially, and perhaps more readily, under the cogni zance of the biologist than of the historian, economist, or philanthropist; and it is wholly from the point of w - and from the point of advantage or disadvantage - of the biol ogist that the book is written.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores humanity's inherent tendency towards warfare within the context of our evolutionary journey. The author, a distinguished biologist, argues that our propensity for armed conflict is a remnant of our animalistic past. While we have made significant social and technological advancements, our innate aggression remains deeply ingrained. The book delves into the natural history of human evolution, providing a detailed analysis of our prehistoric ancestors, Homo primigenius and Homo priscus. These early hominids exhibited traits that suggest a predisposition for violence, including physical strength, hunting skills, and a lack of sophisticated language for conflict resolution. The author contends that our warlike nature is not an inevitable consequence of our humanness but rather a product of our evolutionary heritage. By understanding the origins of our aggression, we can gain insights into its potential consequences and work towards mitigating its effects. This book is a thought-provoking examination of humanity's most enduring and destructive behavior, shedding light on its evolutionary roots and offering hope for a future beyond war.
