Description: This work addresses the question of: are humans by nature hierarchical or egalitarian? The author examines the evolutionary origins of social and political behaviour. He postulates that egalitarianism is in effect a hierachy in which the weak combine forces to dominate the strong.
Synopsis: Are humans by nature hierarchical or egalitarian? Hierarchy in the Forest addresses this question by examining the evolutionary origins of social and political behaviour. Tracing our contradictory egalitarian and despotic traits to their roots in chimpanzee, bonobo, gorilla, and early human societies, Christopher Boehm extends the domain of biological anthropology and evolutionary biology into a new realm: the evolutionary basis of genuine altruism.
