Beyond War: A Chapter In The Natural History Of Man is a non-fiction book written by Vernon Lyman Kellog. The book explores the concept of war from a biological and evolutionary perspective. Kellog argues that war is not a natural or inevitable aspect of human behavior, but rather a learned behavior that can be unlearned. Kellog draws on evidence from anthropology, psychology, and biology to support his argument. He examines the behavior of other animals, such as chimpanzees and ants, to show that war is not unique to humans. However, he argues that humans have a unique ability to reflect on and modify their behavior, and therefore have the potential to overcome the instinct for war. Kellog also explores the history of war, from prehistoric times to the present day. He examines the causes of war, including economic, political, and social factors, and argues that many of these causes can be addressed through education and social change. Throughout the book, Kellog emphasizes the importance of understanding the biological and evolutionary roots of war in order to find ways to prevent it. He suggests that a better understanding of human nature and behavior can help us create a more peaceful and just world. Overall, Beyond War: A Chapter In The Natural History Of Man is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the origins and nature of war, and a call to action for a more peaceful future.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
