Overview of Survival of the Friendliest

Forget "survival of the fittest" - Brian Hare reveals how cooperation, not competition, drove human evolution. Challenging traditional views, his self-domestication theory shows how our friendliness enabled complex societies while paradoxically fueling tribal aggression. What if kindness, not dominance, is our evolutionary superpower?

What If Our Greatest Strength Is Also Our Darkest Flaw?

Here's a puzzle that haunts evolutionary biology: How did the weakest ape-slower than cheetahs, smaller than bears, lacking fangs or claws-come to dominate Earth? The answer isn't what you'd expect. We didn't conquer through superior strength or cunning brutality. We won because we became the friendliest species on the planet. This isn't feel-good speculation-it's a revolutionary understanding of human evolution backed by decades of research across primates, domesticated animals, and ancient human fossils. Yet this same capacity for cooperation harbors a terrifying shadow: the ability to dehumanize those outside our circle. Understanding this paradox isn't just academic-it's essential for navigating our fractured modern world.
