Emergent Warfare in Our Evolutionary Past [Pehme köide]

Why do we fight? Have we always been fighting one another? Emergent Warfare in Our Evolutionary Past examins the origins and development of  human forms of organized violence. Kim and Kissel argue that human warefare is qualitatively different from forms of lethal, intergroup violence seen elsewhere in the natural world, and that its emergence is intimately connected to how humans evolved to the emergence of human nature itself. The book offers an introduction to the evolution of organized violence, along with its relationship to our evolution as a species, from an anthropological and archaeological perspective.
