When violence threatens to become epidemic and genocide and organised rape take the place of diplomacy, the usual moral, religious and philosophical explanations for human behaviour seem inadequate. To help us understand what is happening, Lyall Watson redefines good and evil in biological terms. Drawing on the latest insights of evolutionary ethology, anthropology and psychology, he takes a fresh look at life and the problems our species faces as a result of being too numerous, too greedy or too mobile.
Taking evil out of the realm of monsters and demons and putting it back where it can be controlled - in our lives- 'Dark Nature' is a vital and timely antidote to despair.
