Anthropology Theory

In How War Began, author Keith F. Otterbein draws on primate behavior research, archaeological research, data gathered from the Human Relations Area Files and a career spent in research and reflection on war to argue for two separate origins. He identifies two types of military organization: one which developed two million years ago at the dawn of humankind, wherever groups of hunters met and a second which developed some 5,000 years ago, in four identifiable regions, when the first states arose and proceeded to embark upon military conquests.

In this paradigm-shattering book, biologist Mark W. Moffett draws on findings in psychology, sociology, and anthropology to explain the social adaptations that bind societies. He explores how the tension between identity and anonymity defines how societies develop, function, and fail. Surpassing Guns, Germs, and Steel and Sapiens, The Human Swarm reveals how mankind created sprawling civilizations of unrivaled complexity - and what it will take to sustain them.

Der Film "Ex Machina" war 2014 Sciencefiction und ist es noch. Aber würden Sie es merken, ob dieser Text von einer Person stammt – oder von einer künstlichen Intelligenz, die ihn zusammenfügt aus Wörtern, Satzbausteinen, vielleicht ganzen Absätzen, die sie während des Lernprozesses durchforstet hat? Und was lernen wiederum wir Menschen aus den Ergebnissen und Erfahrungen der KI-Forschung über die Funktionsweise unseres Gehirns? Wo sich Neurowissenschaften, Informatik und auch Philosophie treffen, entstehen spannende Fragen – und Antworten.
