Natural Security - A Darwinian Approach to a Dangerous World (Hardcover)

"A fascinating read, and an essential and novel perspective on international security. Sagarin and his collaborators are not afraid to think outside the box, effectively making the case that we need to think about these problems in new ways."--Simon Levin, George M. Moffett Professor of Biology, Princeton University
"Sagarin and Taylor's Natural Security searches for the roots of political stability by studying interaction in its most fundamental forms, from genes and cells to ideology. This fresh, bold book heralds a vital integration of evolutionary analysis with real-life problems."--Richard Wrangham, Ruth B. Moore Professor of Biological Anthropology, Harvard University
"As the ongoing disaster in Iraq so graphically demonstrates, we need new ways to think about international security and what policies to pursue. Drawing on modern evolutionary biology in diverse ways these essays suggest new modes of analysis and scientific additions to our social, economic and political models. The net result is an insightful and stimulating contribution to a critical debate."--Malcolm Dando, Professor of International Security, Bradford University, UK
