Synopsis
This book traces the physical, mental, moral, economic, social, and political conditions of the human race to two small anatomical changes in our brute ancestors. These changes caused our ancestors to stand upright, giving them advantages but also introducing physical weaknesses and inabilities. These inabilities led to increased intelligence as a means of survival, a separation of sexes, natural selection of monogamous marriage, and the family as a social unit, leading to economic dependence of women, and the differentiation of the sexes in activities and character. The author argues that intraracial predatoriness and warfare originated from these changes, ultimately giving rise to groups and hordes. This book provides a new angle to examine the origins of human civilization and offers fresh insights into the development of our species.
