This book approaches two behavioral domains involved with human
nature and actions related to dominance, an ancient animal,
survival-linked, behavioral drive anchored in basal neural brain
circuits. These domains result in latent or manifest conflicts
among components of human animal nature and cultural profiles. The
first domain refers to evolutive animal behavioral inertias that
affect the basic construction of our brain/mind and social
behavioral spectrum, underneath cultural and political enclosures.
The second domain is considered a consequence of the previous one
and involves the concept that the basic animal behavioral drive of
dominance interferes with the expression of a truly human,
cooperative social construction, and fosters conflicts (based on
profit or comparative advantage). This drive tints or conditions
our behavior in all its expressions (parochial, social, political,
financial, religious, cognitive development). It also fosters
social detachment of elite minorities -financially powerful and
drivers of human evolutionary trends- from general concerns and
collective needs of legions of subdued populations. Additionally,
the latter promotes Star Wars factual chimeras and expanding
dominance/prevalence and power grip beyond earthbound objectives
that promote spatial exploration and scientific objectives. The
quest for knowledge is embedded in our behavioral construction but
employed by opportunistic - political - strategies that seek
dominance/prevalence. Basic, ancestral, animal drives, here focused
on dominance, lie underneath our sociocultural expressions, and
feed construction of survival, ideology, class prejudices,
submissiveness, cooperativity, and technological development. On
top of this basic drive, humans have construed additional
relational levels (whether of cognitive or emotional nature)
expressed as cultural constructions that provide means to attempt
to approach a socially acceptable format and public support.
Whenever these processes collide or collapse, individual and
collective standings tend to generate social changes or individual
or collective pathologies. This book should be an exciting read for
all those enthusiasts of the human mind, behavior, and cultural
evolution ranging from fields such as neuroscience and biology to
political sciences and anthropology. Given the breadth of studies
as well as the clear language used by the author, students will
find this book as a resourceful material for the undergraduate and
graduate studies.
