Description
Why We Fight by Mike Martin explores how our brains have evolved to fight and not to fight. Drawing on insights from biology, psychology, and his own experiences as a soldier, Martin examines the complex relationships between violence, pride, anger, and ideology. The book delves into the evolutionary roots of human conflict, tracing the connections between animal individual violence and human warfare. It also considers how our social groups have grown larger over time, reducing the likelihood of war. Yet, with the disintegration of these groups, Martin argues that humans may ultimately outlive warfare altogether. By examining the past to understand the present, Why We Fight offers a compelling perspective on the nature of conflict and humanity's place in the world.
