Excerpt from The Grand Strategy of Evolution: The Social Philosophy of a Biologist
While the great masses of mankind must still live hazardously from day to day, moved to meagre profits by momentary impulses and present opportunities, in creasing numbers are eagerly scanning the horizon of human affairs in search of more profitable ways of living, and finding them, they shall not be denied their profits.
Eager roots may rend the hardest rocks in search of profit. What social masonry may not be shattered by the groping roots of social life in search of happiness?

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the heart of a timeless debate: is humanity destined for conflict or cooperation? The author explores the philosophy of war and peace, arguing that cooperation, mutual service, and 'rightness' are the fundamental driving forces behind evolution and progress. He challenges the notion that nature is inherently competitive and destructive, instead presenting a perspective where benevolence and collaboration are the true building blocks of life. Drawing upon insights from various scientific fields, the author illustrates how cooperation manifests across diverse levels of organization, from atoms and molecules to cells, organisms, and societies. The book places human behavior within the broader context of natural history, suggesting that the principles governing the evolution of life also apply to the development of human societies. This exploration of the 'ethics and morality of evolution' leads to a compelling conclusion: humanity's path toward a lasting and righteous peace lies in embracing cooperation and mutual service. By understanding the interconnectedness of all life and recognizing the inherent value of collaboration, we can create a more harmonious and sustainable future for ourselves and generations to come.
