Beginning with rape, and moving on to murder, war, and genocide, Ghiglieri offers the most up-to-date, comprehensive look at the male proclivity for violence. In a strong narrative voice, he draws on the latest research and his own personal experiences -- both as a primatologist and as a soldier -- to explain that male violence is largely innate, a product of millions of years of evolution. In the process, he debunks many of our most clung-to, \"politically correct\" notions: that the differences between men and women are strictly due to socialization, that rape is really about power -- not sex -- and that genocide is only possible with a single madman at the helm. Well-argued, evenhanded, yet never dull, this important book illuminates the darkest impulses of the male psyche, and suggests ways for modern society to curb them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47591193182359,"sku":"9780738203157","price":2477.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780738203157.webp?v=1774971937","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-dark-side-of-man-9780738203157","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
