Summary:
"An astounding and inspiring look at the science behind tribalism, and
how
we can learn to harness it to improve the world around us. What do you think of when you hear the word 'tribalism?' For many, it conjures images of bigotry, xenophobia, and sectarian violence. Others may envision their own tribe: family, friends, and the bonds of loyalty that keep them together. Tribalism is one of the most complex and ancient evolutionary forces; it gave us the capacity for cooperation and competition, and allowed us to navigate increasingly complex social landscapes. It is so powerful that it can predict
our
behavior even better than race, class, gender, or religion. But in
our
vast modern world, has this blessing become a curse?
Our
Tribal
Future
explores a central paradox of
our
species:
how
altruism, community, kindness, and genocide are all driven by the same core adaptation. Evolutionary anthropologist David R. Samson engages with cutting-edge science and philosophy, as well as his own field research with small-scale societies and wild chimpanzees, to explain the science, ethics, and history of tribalism in compelling and accessible terms. This bold and brilliant book reveals provocative truths about
our
nature. Readers will discover that tribalism cannot, and should not, be eliminated entirely-- to do so would be to destroy what makes us
human
. But is it possible to
channel
the best of this instinct to enrich
our
lives while containing the worst of its dangers?"--Publisher.
