Constant Battles, Why We Fight

  • サマリー

  • In this episode of Here’s One for Ya, James and Matt attempt to answer the question- why are humans prone to waging war. Taking inspiration from Professor Steven A. Leblanc’s book Constant Battles- Why We Fight, they look deep into human evolution, history, and other species closely related to humans for answers. This leads them to highlight chimpanzee warfare as well as neanderthal warfare to shed light on a complex subject. They assert that humans have never lived peacefully, and humans have always tended to overuse resources, and that fact likely selected for warfare as an evolutionary trait. Further, the trait to war with others in our species seems to predate humans and was handed to us from our predecessor species. Finally, James asserts that while the problem is far from solved, we already have the solution through capitalism, market economies, and representative government.
