The Goodness Paradox

'A fascinating new analysis of human violence, filled with fresh ideas and gripping evidence from our primate cousins, historical forebears, and contemporary neighbors' Steven Pinker 'A brilliant analysis of the role of aggression in our evolutionary history' Jane Goodall It may not always seem so, but day-to-day interactions between individual humans are extraordinarily peaceful. That is not to say that we are perfect, just far less violent than most animals, especially our closest relatives, the chimpanzee and their legendarily docile cousins, the Bonobo. Perhaps surprisingly, we rape, maim, and kill many fewer of our neighbours than all other primates and almost all undomesticated animals...

»Eine neue, bestechende Analyse menschlicher Gewalt, voller neuer Ideen und packender Zeugnisse von unseren Vettern, den Primaten, unseren historischen Vorfahren und unseren gegenwärtigen Nachbarn.« Steven Pinker Die Erfindung der Todesstrafe hat uns zum Menschen gemacht – das ist die aufsehenerregende Theorie des Harvard-Anthropologen und Schimpansenforschers Richard Wrangham. Demnach zähmten sich unsere Vorfahren selbst, indem sie dafür sorgten, dass nur noch diejenigen Gruppenmitglieder sich fortpflanzen konnten, die sozial eingestellt waren. Aggressives Verhalten wurde mit dem Tod bestraft und dadurch aus dem Genpool entfernt. Anhand zahlreicher anthropologischer Studien und seinen eigenen Beobachtungen an Menschenaffen und indigenen Völkern zeigt Wrangham, wie wir im Laufe der Evolution durch die Anwendung tödlicher Gewalt zu den zivilisierten Wesen wurden, die wir heute sind. Er führt uns auch vor Augen, dass diese Entwicklung zugleich den Grundstein für unsere schlimmsten Gräueltaten gelegt hat.

Ричард Рэнгем, приматолог и антрополог, специалист в области эволюции приматов, профессор Гарвардского университета, подробно и доступно разбирает научную дискуссию по важнейшим вопросам: почему людям, представителям единого биологического вида, свойственны одновременно и удивительная доброта, и немыслимая жестокость; как эти качества, порой выходящие далеко за пределы здравого смысла, появились и закрепились в ходе эволюционной истории человечества; откуда у нас нравственные чувства, понятия о добре и зле; и главное – обречены ли мы своим эволюционным парадоксом на вечную угрозу насилия.В формате PDF A4 сохранен издательский макет книги.
