Publisher's Summary

The Lucifer Priciple is a revolutionary work that explores the intricate relationships among genetics, human behavior, and culture to put forth the thesis that "evil" is a by-product of nature's strategies for creation and that it is woven into our most basic biological fabric. Though this argument is not a new one - it has been brought forth by such great historical figures as St. Paul, Thomas Hobbes, and Raymond Dart - Howard Bloom here takes fresh data from a variety of sources and shapes it into a lens through which listeners can reinterpret the human experience.

Fantastic book

Despite this book being written over twenty years ago, its theories are still very relevant today as they were then. It rises interesting questions about social and individual behavior and if we will be able to overcome our current global crise. I definitely recommend.

BIt of a dooms day read

I stuck through it, hard to listen to the constrain drone of our nature is to destroy each other. But the last hour he really starts to explain the issue of America’s decline and who American needs to turn it self around.

The numerous historic stories was very interesting if your a historic buff.
