Is there something innate in human nature that makes it next to impossible to achieve peaceful coexistence? The challenge for enlightened men and women in contemporary society, says career diplomat Carl Coon, is to realize that cultural conflicts are an inevitable result of our evolutionary heritage; to use this insight to help manage the transition to a new, global society; and to cooperate in fashioning more effective ways to preserve the environment and promote an equitable, prosperous, and peaceful world community.
