Evolution and the Human-Animal Drive to Conflict

A Psychobiological Perspective

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines how fundamental, universal animal drives, such as dominance/prevalence, survival, kinship, and "profit" (greed, advantage, whether of material or social nature), provide the basis for 'the evolutionary trap' that promotes the unstable, conflictive, dominant-prone individual and group human behaviours.
