Goodness Paradox
How Evolution Made Us Both More and Less Violent
AvRichard Wrangham
Häftad, Engelska, 2020
140 kr
Skickas
'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 GoodallIt 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. But there is one form of violence that humans exceed all other animals in by several degrees: organized proactive violence against other groups of humans. It seems, we are the only animal that goes to war. In the Goodness Paradox, Richard Wrangham wrestles with this paradox at the heart of human behaviour. Drawing on new research by geneticists, neuroscientists, primatologists, and archaeologists, he shows that what domesticated our species was nothing less than the invention of capital punishment which eliminated the least cooperative and most aggressive among us. But that development is exactly what laid the groundwork for the worst of our atrocities.

Science and Conservation in African Forests

Forests need apes as much as the apes need the forests. They are the gardeners of the forest - keystone species in the ecology of African and Southeast Asian forests, dispersing seeds, creating light gaps and pruning branch-tips whilst feeding. Their habitat comprises two of the planet's three major tropical forest blocks that are essential for global climate regulation. But the economic pressures that are destroying ape habitats are much greater than current available conservation finance. This unique case study from the Kibale national park illustrates how biological research has had diverse consequences for conservation. It examines effects on habitat management, community relations, ecotourism and training. Lessons learned from this project over the last 20 years will inspire researchers and conservationists to work together to promote biodiversity through field projects.

This study is an analysis of the roots of human savagery, dealing with the fundamental questions of why the majority of violence is perpetrated by men, whether this is a matter of nature or nurture and whether anything can be done about it. The book provides some surprising answers, based on comparison of male violence among human and among man's closest relatives, the great apes. In three or four species, male violence is common, but the form of violence differs: male orangutangs tend to rape, male chimps wage war and male gorillas kill the offspring of other males. Only in the fourth species, the little-known bonobo, are males (as well as females) non-violent - females are co-dominant, there is no observable aggression between groups, and there is a high level and diversity of sexual activity. The findings are based on 30 years of field research on the behaviour and ecology of chimpanzees and other mammals in Africa.

“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, author of The Better Angels of Our NatureWe Homo sapiens can be the nicest of species and also the nastiest. What occurred during human evolution to account for this paradox? What are the two kinds of aggression that primates are prone to, and why did each evolve separately? How does the intensity of violence among humans compare with the aggressive behavior of other primates? How did humans domesticate themselves? And how were the acquisition of language and the practice of capital punishment determining factors in the rise of culture and civilization?Authoritative, provocative, and engaging, The Goodness Paradox offers a startlingly original theory of how, in the last 250 million years, humankind became an increasingly peaceful species in daily interactions even as its capacity for coolly planned and devastating violence remains undiminished. In tracing the evolutionary histories of reactive and proactive aggression, biological anthropologist Richard Wrangham forcefully and persuasively argues for the necessity of social tolerance and the control of savage divisiveness still haunting us today.

In this stunningly original book, Richard Wrangham argues that it was cooking that caused the extraordinary transformation of our ancestors from apelike beings to Homo erectus. At the heart of Catching Fire lies an explosive new idea: the habit of eating cooked rather than raw food permitted the digestive tract to shrink and the human brain to grow, helped structure human society, and created the male-female division of labour. As our ancestors adapted to using fire, humans emerged as "the cooking apes". Covering everything from food-labelling and overweight pets to raw-food faddists, Catching Fire offers a startlingly original argument about how we came to be the social, intelligent, and sexual species we are today. "This notion is surprising, fresh and, in the hands of Richard Wrangham, utterly persuasive ... Big, new ideas do not come along often in evolution these days, but this is one." -Matt Ridley, author of Genome

„O nouă analiză fascinantă a violenței umane, plină de idei noi și de dovezi palpitante de la verii noștri primate, strămoșii istorici și vecinii contemporani.“Steven Pinker, autor al The Better Angels of Our NatureNoi, Homo sapiens, putem fi cea mai bună, dar și cea mai rea dintre specii. Ce s-a întâmplat în timpul evoluției umane pentru a se ajunge la acest paradox? Care sunt cele două tipuri de agresiune la care sunt susceptibile primatele și de ce a evoluat separat fiecare dintre ele? Cum se compară intensitatea violenței dintre oameni cu comportamentul agresic al altor primate? Cum s-au domesticit singuri oamenii? Și cum au fost achiziția limbajului și practica pedepsei capitale factori determinanți în evoluția culturii și a civilizației?Plină de autoritate, provocatoare și antrenantă, Paradoxul bunătății oferă o teorie originală surprinzătoare despre cum, în ultimii 250 de milioane de ani, omenirea a devenit o specie din ce în ce mai pacifistă în interacțiunile ei zilnice chiar dacă capacitatea ei de violență planificată la rece și devastatoare rămâne nediminuată. Urmărind istoriile evoluționiste ale agresiunii reactive și proactive, antropologul biolog Richard Wrangham argumentează convingător în favoarea necesității toleranței sociale și a controlului diviziunilor sălbatice care continuă să ne bântuie și astăzi.„Foarte originală... complexă și ambițioasă... O poveste despre originile moralității care începe cu sute de mii de ani înainte ca vreo creatură să posede simțul binelui și al răului sau chiar al sinelui... Alegerea, evaluarea și potrivirea împreună a dovezilor culese de pe șase continente, din 12 discipline, de la câteva zeci de specii, și din două milioane de ani, pentru a da naștere unei structuri complexe și de mari dimensiuni are ceva impresionant, chiar emoționant. Este vorba și de o lecție: evoluția este mult mai puțin relevantă pentru creșterea noastră decât imaginația morală.“The New Yorker„Wrangham sondează istoria evoluționistă profundă a agresiunii umane... această carte este o lectură esențială în momentul în care genetica începe să deschidă pachetul de gene care au răspuns la domesticire, fapt care ne poate oferi unele idei despre propria istorie evoluționistă.“The Wall Street Journal„Fascinant... Paradoxul bunătății pune la un loc descoperiri din antropologie, istorie și biologie pentru a reconstrui o istorie vie și cuprinzătoare a modului în care oamenii au evoluat în creaturi domesticite... prezintă o perspectivă complexă și convingătoare despre modul în care binele și răul ajung să coexiste în specia noastră unică.“The Washington PostRichard Wrangham este profesor de antropologie biologică la Universitatea Harvard. Este autorul cărților Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human și Demonic Males: Apes and the Origins of Human Violence (scrisă împreună cu Dale Peterson). Wrangham a studiat cimpanzeii sălbatici în Uganda începând din 1987. A primit calitatea de membru al Fundației MacArthur și este membru al Academiei Americane de Arte și Științe și al Academiei Britanice.

Desde Darwin la evolución humana se ha atribuido a nuestra inteligencia y adaptabilidad. Pero en "En llamas", el renombrado primatólogo Richard Wrangham presenta una alternativa sorprendente: nuestro éxito evolutivo es el resultado de la cocina. El cambio de alimentos crudos a alimentos cocidos fue el factor clave en la evolución humana. Una vez que se comenzó a cocinar, el tracto digestivo humano se contrajo y el cerebro creció. El tiempo, una vez dedicado a masticar alimentos crudos y duros, podría ser demandado para cazar y cuidar el campamento. La cocina se convirtió en la base para la unión de pareja y el matrimonio, creó el hogar e incluso condujo a una división sexual del trabajo. En resumen, una vez que nuestros antepasados se adaptaron al uso del fuego, la humanidad comenzó.
