Violence in Decline: A Counterintuitive Journey Through Human History
Despite what your news feed suggests, we're living in the most peaceful era in human history. This remarkable claim forms the backbone of Steven Pinker's groundbreaking work, which has captivated minds from Bill Gates to Barack Obama. The evidence is overwhelming yet counterintuitive: violence has been in dramatic decline throughout human history. This isn't just academic theory - it's a profound reassessment of human progress with implications for how we understand ourselves and our future. The decline spans everything from war and genocide to intimate partner violence and cruelty to animals. What makes this transformation possible? And what does it tell us about human nature?
