In The Dark Side of Man, Michael Ghiglieri, a biologist and protg of Jane Goodall, takes on one of the most highly charged debates in modern science: the biological roots of bad behavior. Beginning with rape, and moving on to murder, war, and genocide, Ghiglieri offers the most uptodate, comprehensive look at the male proclivity for violence. In a strong narrative voice, he draws on the latest research and his own personal experiencesboth as a primatologist and as a soldierto explain that male violence is largely innate, a product of millions of years of evolution. In the process, he debunks many of our most clungto, politically correct notions: that the differences between men and women are strictly due to socialization, that rape is really about powernot sexand that genocide is only possible with a single madman at the helm. Wellargued, evenhanded, yet never dull, this important book illuminates the darkest impulses of the male psyche, and suggests ways for modern society to curb them.
