Sex and War

"Sex and War" explores the intricate relationship between human conflict and biological evolution, investigating why war and terrorism persist throughout history and examining the predominantly male role in violence. Drawing from a wide array of disciplines—history, archaeology, psychology, and biology—the authors reveal the deep-rooted connections between warfare, slavery, and the subjugation of women. While acknowledging our complex biological history, they also propose practical strategies aimed at fostering peace and reducing the brutality of conflict moving forward.
