'This fine work should have broad appeal to anyone curious about human societies, which is basically everyone' Publishers Weekly.

'Mark Moffett presents an intriguing overview of the biological roots and cultural evolution of this now-critical situation' Paul R. Ehrlich, Bing Professor of Population Studies at Stanford and author of Human Natures.

'Read this manifesto if you like to have your mind changed' Kevin Kelly.

'[An] enticing whirlwind tour of the fascinating patterns of behaviours and structures of societies revealed through the varied lives of people and animals across the globe ... [Mark W.
