Ten thousand years of tyranny is a polemic as uncompromising as Rousseau or Marx. It rejects one central idea of Darwin’s theory, ie that life evolves in an environment of scarce resources and claims that the world has always been abundant of and for life. Given this, Frost claims, life is, though violent, essentially benign. Humanity, freed from the whip of scarcity, would be free to live in harmony with itself and the wider world, without sin, were it not for the corruptions arising from differential social power. The author, aged about 20 months, with his pregnant mother, Selina, taken in about September 1938 in North End, Essex, UK.
