520    Our contemporary capacity for understanding and empathy 
       suggests that people are becoming less disposed to 
       violence. At the same time, current developments in war 
       technologies and the popularity of blood-soaked movies and
       video games point to the opposite conclusion. The works of
       Darwin hold crucial keys to the puzzle, yet his theories--
       and evolutionary theory in general--are often dismissed as
       relics, or worse. The Evolution of Violence explores and 
       explodes myths about evolutionary theory while restoring 
       Darwinian concepts to modern-day relevance. In these 
       provocative pages, violence scholars from across the 
       disciplines elegantly argue that evolutionary perspectives,
       far from conflicting with current science, complement and 
       enhance standard social theory. Compelling original essays
       in areas such as domestic abuse, sibling conflict, and 
       aggression in women make the case with clarity, and the 
       contributors' theoretical and empirical insights carry 
       significant practical implications for violence 
       prevention. Among the featured topics: Sexual selection 
       and the psychology of intergroup conflict. Warfare and 
       human nature. Evolutionary behavioral genetics of violent 
       crime. Intimate partner violence: an evolutionary view. 
       Evolutionary perspectives on child welfare law. An 
       evolutionary developmental lens for understanding the 
       causes and consequences of human aggression. Scholarly and
       useful for researchers and evolutionary scientists while 
       accessible to interested laypersons, The Evolution of 
       Violence is no simple reminder of how far we've come as a 
       species--it points clearly to our human potential for 
       future progress.
