Zusammenfassung:The authors of this book (see record 1997-97019-000) force us to consider that we carry the unchanging burden of our primate ancestors. But for an ecological quirk, we evolved in the direction of the demonic male, similar to the chimpanzee, rather than toward greater pacificity, casual sex, and female control, as with the species offspring of the chimp, bonobo. Ultimately, Wrangham and Peterson want to believe that we can be better than we are. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
