We are destroying our natural environment at a constantly
increasing pace, and in so doing undermining the preconditions of
our own existence. Why is this so? This book reveals that our
ecologically disruptive behavior is in fact rooted in our very
nature as a species. Drawing on evolution theory, biology,
anthropology, archaeology, economics, environmental science and
history, this book explains the ecological predicament of humankind
by placing it in the context of the first scientific theory of our
species development, taking over where Darwin left off. The theory
presented is applied in detail to the whole of our
seven-million-year history. Due to its comprehensiveness, and in
part thanks to its extensive glossary and index, this book can
function as a compact encyclopedia covering the whole development
of Homo sapiens. It would also suit a variety of courses in the
life and social sciences. Most importantly, Too Smart makes evident
the very core of the paradigm to which our species must shift if it
is to survive. Anyone concerned about the future of humankind
should read this ground-breaking work. This book: Provides the
first and only theory of humankind s development Explains that
economic and political (military) power have their respective
biological bases in individual vs. group territoriality Provides
the first classification of human instincts: into the survival,
sexual and social instincts Provides the most inclusive
characterization of different kinds of population check yet
presented Explains the importance of the anthropological,
archaeological and economic findings of the past 50 years to
understanding humankind s development Clarifies the preconditions
for human life on earth Predicts what will happen to us in the near
future
