Book Reviews of Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution
Book Review: Important & underrated study of human nature & sociability.
Summary: 5 Stars
Illustrating the necessity of social behavior as a means of survival, Kropotkin traces social interaction of from that of insects, through larger animals, primitive humans, barbarians, the Middle Ages, and modern man. Provides irresistible evidence that human nature is not only NOT a barrier to the success of an anarchist society, but that it would in fact propel an anarchist society. Entirely readable and meticulously annotated.
Summary of Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution
His most influential work. A challenge to classical Darwinism, Kropotkin argues that in nature, co-operation is as important as competition. "Kropotkin profoundly influenced human biology by his theory of Mutual Aid., propounded as a counter-blast to the social conclusions drawn from the Darwinian 'struggle for existence.' He was one of the first systematic students of animal communities, and may be regarded as the founder of modern social ecology." [Alex Comfort] "I would hold that Kropotkin's basic argument is correct." [Stephen Jay Gould]Biology Books
