Excerpt from The Grand Strategy of Evolution: The Social Philosophy of a Biologist Strange as it may seem, it was but yesterday that these eager sentinels of the human flock were gravely debating whether or no peace is more profitable than war, and whether peace or war is the "natural state" of man. The question so sharply formulated is both pertinent and logical, for it covers the whole philosophy of life. It covers, indeed, the whole philosophy of evolution and the creative conduct of Nature. There is no other alternative. A convincing answer, either way, will profoundly influence every phase of human life the world over, for as intelligence dictates the strategy by which it may conquer, so, in the long run, will the body act. But to satisfy the intelligence, the answer must harmonize with natural laws, for the grand strategy of man cannot be different from the grand strategy of nature. Evidently the problem lies within the domain of the biologist. He who is persuaded that "warfare" is nature's method of evolution, that war is the "natural state" of man and more profitable than peace, will say in his heart: If war is profitable, then war is good; it is "right" for man to make war, and so by all means, let us have war; nation against nation, race against race, brother against brother. Every man for himself and every interest for itself; the secret or declared enemy of every other interest and every other man. Present obstacles alone shall postpone the attempt of each to master or destroy the other. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1874 edition. Excerpt: ... II. ORGANIC CHARACTERISTICS. Passions and instincts are the roots of individual and of social action. Bees swarm by instinct, seek for wax and honey in their daily rounds amongst the flowers, and build their honeycombs in a sheltered hive, wherever most conveniently situated. Other species of insects have different instincts, and obey these tendencies as fatally as an apple falls to the ground, or the earth" moves round the sun in a predetermined orbit. Greater or lesser degrees pertain to each species. The spider has one sort of intellectual endowment, the ant-lion has another: one weaves a web to catch flies for his provision, the other delves a conical pit in fine sand for his unwary victims to fall into, but each of these operations denotes a particular kind of intellect to construct the snares intended to procure the prey the insects want to feed upon. These predacious instincts of small insects might be thought superior to the instincts of some of the higher animals, such as sheep, which seem almost devoid of intelligence beyond that of selecting food in accordance with the sense of taste; though, possibly, in a wild state, before their innate faculties have been blunted by artificial conditions, even sheep may know how and where to seek for the food which is by nature fitted for them. How far degrees of intelligence accompany various kinds of sensitivity or sensibility and instinct is not always easy to determine, even in the lowest polyps, such as the sea-anemone, while some degrees of intellect accompany the higher animals of all species, and still higher degrees of intellect belong to the innate instincts of mankind, even where the faculties of reason are undeveloped in individuals or in tribes. By faculties of reason, as...

Excerpt from Kidd's "Social Evolution" This, of course, does not mean that we are not to derive all the help we can from the study Of the lower stages in the develop ment of that which we are trying to interpret. It does not mean that we are not to get what light we can by tracing the historic growth of the moral sentiments; nor that there is nothing to learn in seeking the genesis of the idea of God. It does not mean that the study of comparative anatomy is unessential to a knowledge of the human body. It does not mean that a knowledge of the process will not help us to an understanding of the product. It only means that antecedence is not identical with causality, and that similarity is not identity. It means that, having traced g back to f, and f to e, and so on back to a, the origin, we are then to find the key to the process, not in the starting-point, but in the whole process as seen from the end to the beginning. In other words, the true nature of anything can be known, not from the S5 of), but from the ré/log. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

From mitochondria to meerkats, the natural world is full of spectacular examples of social behaviour. In the early 1960s Bill Hamilton changed the way we think about how such behaviour evolves. He introduced three key innovations - now known as Hamilton's rule, kin selection, and inclusive fitness - which have been enormously influential, but which remain the subject of fierce controversy. Hamilton's pioneering work kick-started a research program now known as social evolution theory. This is a book about the philosophical foundations and future prospects of that program. Part I, "Foundations", is a careful exposition and defence of Hamilton's ideas, with a few modifications along the way. In Part II, "Extensions", Jonathan Birch shows how these ideas can be applied to phenomena including cooperation in micro-organisms, cooperation among the cells of a multicellular organism, and culturally evolved cooperation in the earliest human societies. Birch argues that real progress can be made in understanding microbial evolution, evolutionary transitions, and human evolution by viewing them through the lens of social evolution theory, provided the theory is interpreted with care and adapted where necessary. The Philosophy of Social Evolution places social evolution theory on a firm philosophical footing and sets out exciting new directions for further work.

"This book puts the study of social and cultural history and social change and cultural evolution on a scientific basis capable of rational analysis and understanding. It shows how social and cultural change happens and explains the sequence of events in social and cultural history. The book shows how social and cultural history followed a necessary path that can be analysed and rationally understood and explained. Most books on history just give a narrative describing how one thing followed another. This book describes why one thing followed another. This involves going into areas where historians do not usually go, for example into areas of science such as the chemical structure of rocks and the melting and smelting points of metal and ores. The book investigates the effect the laws of physics, chemistry and biology, the genetics of living matter and the properties of particles, elements, compounds and mixtures making up the material of the universe has on human social and cultural history."--Back cover.

Excerpt from An Examination of Society From the Standpoint of Evolution The application of the main thesis to universal his tory involves an inquiry into the decline and fall of the earlier historic civilizations. The line of human progress has, indeed, passed up from prehistoric beginnings through the ancient oriental and classic worlds into modern western society. But the ancient civilizations, de spite their progress, did not endure; and the wrecks of many nations lie along the path of social development. Some of the later institutions of progressive society have issued from the struggles of earlier historic societies with the problem of their decline and fall; and if our inquiry should ignore the retrogressive aspects of human history we should be embarrassed in the treatment of these later institutions. Social development, as revealed by universal history, is not only a struggle for progress, but a struggle against retrogression.
