In this eye-opening book, Greg Graffin points to where the mainstream view of evolutionary theory has led us astray. Through tales of mass extinctions, developing immune systems, human warfare, the American industrial heartland, and our degrading modern environment, Graffin demonstrates how that misunderstanding has allowed humans to justify war even when other solutions may be available. Along the way, he reveals a paradox: When we challenge conventional definitions of war, we are left with a new problem--how to define ourselves.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGREG GRAFFIN is a singer, songwriter, lecturer, and solo artist.
