In this succinct, highly readable overview of the evolution of human society, the author argues that the 21st century will witness a crucially important and difficult transition for the human race. Blending the disciplines of anthropology and evolutionary psychology with over thirty years of experience in the diplomatic corps, Coon traces the evolution of the human tendency to divide others into two groups, 'us versus them.' People tend instinctively to behave altruistically toward members of their own ingroup, and to react with suspicion, or even hostility, toward outsiders. He points out that complex human societies became possible only when cultural attitudes and mechanisms became accepted that encouraged individuals to define their ingroups in more expansive ways. Thus small kinbased bands grew into villages, kingdoms, and, eventually, the modern nationstate. Today, he argues, we have reached a stage where the whole world must be viewed as 'us,' for only a united world community can cope with todays global challenges.
