Human Behavior Writ Large

Abstract
These three books consider the nature and evolutionary context of the individual and collective behavior of modern humans. Moffett’s The Human Swarm and Christakis’ Blueprint focus on the “big picture.” What, if anything, is distinctive about the ways groups of modern humans behave? What do modern human societies have in common that distinguishes them from aggregations of non-human organisms? Wrangham’s The Goodness Paradox focuses more narrowly on aggression, and the enigma that modern humans seem to be individually relatively docile, but collectively capable of planning and executing highly aggressive activities. I was intrigued and educated by all three books.
