Nothing prevents us from describing and explaining human communities as accurately and as successfully as everything else in the world using scientific tools. So the evolutionary psychologist Pascal Buay argues in this innovative book. Comparing the latest achievements of evolutionary biology, psychology, genetics, economics and other scientific disciplines, the author represents a new view of the structure of human societies. Buay convincingly proves how significant the role of cognitive processes play in how people build hierarchies, family and gender norms, how intergroup conflicts and ethnic stereotypes arise. In the focus of his attention there is a fundamental question: how do the human ability and predisposition developed during the evolution explain how we live in society? And why are the data of natural sciences critically important for understanding historical events and social processes?
