Genetic Seeds of Warfare: Evolution, Nationalism, and Patriotism (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780367615277)

Is there some force that impels us toward our own destruction? To explain this central paradox of human behaviour, this title, first published in 1989, advances a new theory. It traces the origins of warfare back to early groups of Homo sapiens in competition for scarce resources, showing that warfare evolved as these groups evolved.
