Description
Managing Without Power: Gender Relationships in the Story of Human Evolution explores how human evolution has shaped patterns of behaviour for men and women. From early human society, where organic balance regulated community life, to the present day, where power has lost its biological utility, this book examines the key stages in the history of Homo sapiens.
The author argues that as humans evolved, natural selection favoured the survival of able professionals and compliant slaves, diversifying behavioural roles. In the present era, technological evolution has favoured the emancipation of women, with a premium on communication skills. This shift has brought new cross-gender problems, highlighting the need for balance in business organizations and communities.
This penetrating and original book offers suggestions on how men and women can come to terms with their genetic heritage, restoring much-needed balance to society.
