And is there anything we can do about it?\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSex and War\u003c\/i\u003e explores these questions from the frontlines of war-torn countries around the world. As a scientist and obstetrician, Malcolm Potts has worked with governments and aid organizations globally, and in the trenches with women who have been raped and brutalized in the course of war. Combining their own experience with scientific findings in primatology, genetics, and anthropology, Potts and journalist Thomas Hayden explain war’s pivotal position in the human experience, and how men in particular evolved under conditions that favored gang behavior, rape, and organized aggression. Drawing on these new insights, they propose a rational plan for making warfare less frequent and less brutal in the future.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Anyone interested in understanding human nature, warfare, and terrorism at their most fundamental levels will find \u003ci\u003eSex and War\u003c\/i\u003e to be an illuminating work, and one that might change the way they see the world.\u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"BenBella Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47168294486256,"sku":"9781935251842","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781935251842_p0.jpg?v=1763655913","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781935251842","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
