Krátky popis
'A fascinating new analysis of human violence, filled with fresh
ideas and gripping evidence from our primate cousins, historical
forebears, and contemporary neighbors' Steven Pinker'A brilliant
analysis of the role of aggression in our evolutionary history'
Jane GoodallIt may not always seem so, but day-to-day interactions
between individual humans are extraordinarily peaceful. That is not
to say that we are perfect, just far less violent than most
animals, especially our closest relatives, the chimpanzee and their
legendarily docile cousins, the Bonobo. Perhaps surprisingly, we
rape, maim, and kill many fewer of our neighbours than all other
primates and almost all undomesticated animals.But there is one
form of violence that humans exceed all other animals in by several
degrees: organized proactive violence against other groups of
humans. It seems, we are the only animal that goes to war. In the
Goodness Paradox, Richard Wrangham wrestles with this paradox at
the heart of human behaviour.Drawing on new research by
geneticists, neuroscientists, primatologists, and archaeologists,
he shows that what domesticated our species was nothing less than
the invention of capital punishment which eliminated the least
cooperative and most aggressive among us. But that development is
exactly what laid the groundwork for the worst of our atrocities.
