Ethnic Conflict and Indoctrination

Altruism and Identity in Evolutionary Perspectives

514 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Violent ethno-nationalist conflicts continue to mar the history of the current century, yet no satisfactory answer to the question of why humans are susceptible to indoctrination by ideologies that lead to inter-group hostility has so far been found. In this volume an international team of leading scientists from many different fields approach this complex issue from a biological perspective, treating indoctrinability as a predisposition that has its roots in humanity's evolutionary past.
