Why can humans have peaceful day-to-day interactions between individuals and, at the same time, organise proactive violence against other groups of humans? Richard Wrangham, a Research Professor of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University, has written a book exploring this question — The Goodness Paradox: How Male Resentment Created Tolerance, Morality and Homo Sapiens.
We talked with Richard Wrangham about what kind of biological propensity to violence we have in common with chimpanzees, how humans came to be cooperative, and what can help us to avoid future disasters associated with the tendency to take advantage of power imbalances.
