The Origin of Politics

Viac o knihe

Exploring the intersection of human nature and societal success, this book argues that both progressive and conservative ideologies often misinterpret the role of human nature in shaping society. Nicholas Wade examines historical and biological contexts, illustrating how certain policies can enhance human nature while others, like socialism, may lead to societal decline. Drawing from anthropology and evolutionary biology, the work emphasizes that neglecting the evolutionary constraints of human behavior can result in chaos and potential extinction, challenging prevailing political assumptions.
