Combining social and cognitive neuroscience with real-life accounts from genocide perpetrators, this book sheds light on the process through which obedience influences cognition and behavior. Emilie Caspar, a leading expert in the field, translates this neuroscientific approach into a clear, uncomplicated explanation, even for those with no background in psychology or neuroscience. By better understanding humanity's propensity for direct orders to short-circuit our own independent decision-making, we can edge closer to effective prevention processes.

In this compelling book, the listener embarks on a poignant journey through the darkest chapters of history, where the unforgivable crimes of genocide, war, and crimes against humanity are laid bare. The book provides a concise and comprehensive listing of all the atrocities of genocides committed around the globe throughout the last century, with each examined in the context of one of the most heinous among them all–the Igbo Genocide in Nigeria.

Between 1939 and 1945, Nazi genocide claimed the lives of nearly three hundred thousand people diagnosed with psychiatric illness or cognitive deficiencies. Not until the 1980s would these murders, as well as the coercive sterilizations of some four hundred thousand others classified as “feeble-minded,” be officially acknowledged as crimes at all. The Question of Unworthy Life charts this history from its origins in prewar debates about the value of disabled lives to our continuing efforts to unlearn eugenic thinking today.

In December 1937, the Chinese capital, Nanjing, falls and the Japanese army unleash an orgy of torture, murder, and rape. Over the course of six weeks, hundreds of thousands of civilians and prisoners of war are killed. At the very onset of the atrocities, the Danish supervisor at a cement plant just outside the city, 26-year-old Bernhard Arp Sindberg, opens the factory gates and welcomes in 10,000 Chinese civilians to safety. He becomes an Asian equivalent of Oskar Schindler, the savior of Jews in the Holocaust.

Wer hätte sich vor wenigen Jahren vorstellen können, dass Krieg wieder zu einer zentralen Bedrohung unserer Welt werden könnte? Was bringt Menschen dazu, andere Menschen zu töten? Dazu müssen wir nach den evolutionären Wurzeln von Gewalt und Aggression forschen und deren Wucherungen durch die menschliche Geschichte hindurch rekonstruieren. Die drei Autoren verbinden anhand von Fallgeschichten die Erkentnisse aus Archäologie, Evolutionärer Anthropologie und den Religions- und Geschichtswissenschaften, um in dieser Menschheitsgeschichte der Gewalt aufzuzeigen, unter welchen Bedingungen es zu Krieg, Mord und Totschlag kommt.
