“A fascinating perspective on the age-old idea of Survival of the Fittest.” ―LitReactorPopulation Wars is a paradigm-shifting look at why humans behave the way they do and the ancient history that explains that behavior. In this eye-opening book Greg Graffin points to where the mainstream view of evolutionary theory has led us astray. Through tales of mass extinctions developing immune systems human warfare the American industrial heartland and our degrading modern environment Graffin demonstrates how that misunderstanding has allowed humans to justify war even when other solutions may be available. Along the way he reveals a paradox: When we challenge conventional definitions of war we are left with a new problem―how to define ourselves.
