Clear explanation how humans lack of reactive aggression evolved via self-domestication and coomunal punishment of too aggressive males. But we're no angels, and (still) experts in premeditade/proactive aggression (ambushes, raids, war).

Well argued book, perhaps a bit repetitive; a long read might hace sufficed to get the main point accros. But always nice to read a popular axience book that has a clear message and framework.

I did a hybrid book/audiobook for this one. The topic is fascinating, and while the research is in the early stages (as the author himself notes), the book is still rich and dense. The narrator of the audiobook did the writing a disservice in my opinion, as his narration was rather dry for an already complex topic, but it was interesting!
