A New Approach to Human Social Evolution

Jorge A. Colombo

This book provides an important examination into the role of evolution of human traits of dominance as central to understanding social and political events, proposing a new view on human social evolution. This book examines basic biological universal needs and behavioral profiles of non-human living beings, from which humans share essential survival components. It invites readers to think critically about the psychological evolution of the human brain. Using comparative psychology, it argues that the core of human behavior lies in the ancient, animal, universal set of survival resources hidden under various socialisation profiles. However, it generally fails to replace drives of dominance and aggression for physical and social survival. Genuine replacement of those primal behavioral drives would require fundamental neuro-socio-behavioral changes. This book supports the thesis that without education and the promotion of universal values involving environmental protection and individual opportunities to evolve, there will be consequences for individuals and communities. A critical tool for students studying behavioral sciences, anthropology, politics and evolutionary neurosciences, other readers such as teachers and professional researchers will benefit greatly from this book.
