Book Description
How did warfare originate? Was it human genetics? Social competition? The rise of complexity? Intensive study of the long-term hunter-gatherer past brings us closer to an answer.

Their controversial conclusions will elicit interest among anthropologists, archaeologists, and those in conflict studies.
