Place reservation for Why men? : a human history of violence and inequalityAre war and inequality inevitable, because evolution made men competitive and dominant? Think again with this entertaining yet powerful new history of 'true' human nature. How did humans, a species that evolved to be cooperative and egalitarian, develop societies of enforced inequality? Why did our ancestors create patriarchal power and warfare? Did it have to be this way? Elites have always called hierarchy and violence unavoidable facts of human nature. Evolution, they claim, has caused men to fight, and people-starting with men and women-to have separate, unequal roles. But that is bad science. 'Why Men?' tells a smarter story of humanity, from early behaviours to contemporary cultures.
