Summary:
The Better Angels of Our Nature by psychologist Steven Pinker propagates the popular thesis that violence declined when our hunter-gatherer ancestors abandoned their nomadic ways and formed chiefdoms, states and empires. A study by Jose Maria Gomez of the University of Granada and other researchers contradicts this Hobbesian thesis, showing that violence surged for millennia before declining below Paleolithic levels in the last 100 years.
