About this title

Synopsis

Rethinking war through biology and history, this book offers a theory of war grounded in real data.

In Evolution and the War, the author presents a framework for understanding war as a historical and scientific problem. It discusses how ideas about inheritance, consciousness, and human differences can shape political life, while aiming to offer a calm, data‑driven view for historians and readers alike. The text blends personal reflection on early experiences in Europe with a broader look at how biological ideas have influenced national thought.

• A theory of war that goes beyond immediate causes to examine long‑standing patterns and data.
• An in‑depth discussion of European racial concepts, including three broad race types and their historical distribution.
• Personal anecdotes from lived experiences in Germany and Britain that illuminate the era’s mood and debates.
• Context on science, philosophy, and society as they relate to war, power, and national life.

Ideal for readers of history and science who seek a thoughtful, data‑grounded perspective on war and its deeper causes.
