Blueprint
The Evolutionary Origins of a Good Society
Nicholas A. Christakis - 2019-03-26
Calificación de Goodreads
Blueprint by Nicholas A. Christakis explores the idea that our genes not only affect our bodies and behaviors, but also influence the ways we form societies. Christakis offers many examples, from historical cultures to modern online communities, to prove that we are innately programmed for love, friendship, cooperation, and learning. Despite our violent past, our social blueprint for goodness cannot be escaped. By exploring our evolutionary roots, Blueprint shows that our genes have shaped societies for our welfare, and societies continue to shape our genes today.

Los ángeles que llevamos dentro. El declive de la violencia y sus implicaciones
Why Violence Has Declined
Steven Pinker - 2012-09-25 (publicado por primera vez en 2010)
Calificación de Goodreads
"¿Por qué existen las guerras? ¿Podemos preguntarnos por qué existe la paz?..." Estas son algunas de las preguntas que Steven Pinker se plantea en El ángel que hay en nosotros, una obra excepcional en la que nos expone las investigaciones que ha llevado a cabo sobre la preponderancia de la violencia a lo largo de la historia. Estas investigaciones le han llevado a concluir que, pese a las guerras de Irak, Afganistán, Darfur y de otros conflictos actuales, vivimos en una época en la que la violencia ha disminuido enormemente respecto de tiempos pasados. La violencia es un fenómeno que se ha desarrollado durante milenios y no cabe duda de que, como nos explica Pinker, su declive tiene unas profundas implicaciones. Disfrutamos la paz de la que gozamos ahora porque las generaciones pasadas vivieron atenazadas por la violencia y ello les obligó a esforzarse para ponerle límites, y en el mundo contemporáneo somos nosotros quienes debemos trabajar para ponerle fin. No debemos dejarnos llevar por el optimismo pero, al menos, ahora sabemos que este es un objetivo que está a nuestro alcance. En definitiva, esta nueva obra de Steven Pinker abre una nueva perspectiva a las ciencias y a nuestra idea del hombre. Y es que la constatación de que la violencia ha disminuido a lo largo de los siglos quiere decir que algo habremos hecho bien. Y sería estupendo saber, con toda exactitud, qué es.
