Wrangham's book is well-written and thought-provoking. I tricked b_b into reading it; I recommend it to everybody else. It's also pushing 10 years old.
Thanks for the post. I’ll check into it. Have you happened to read “The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence has Declined”. I’m about 3/4 through it and it’s a great read. Lots of data driven arguments about why we humans are killing each other less often. Pinker offers up solid reasoning and evidence of hope for a continually less violent future. It’s worth checking out too.
