Abstract

Have humans evolved as violent and warlike? Studies of peaceful societies, historical trends of warfare and violence, and cooperation say otherwise. Evolution is not destiny; human choices are important interventions in the process. A science of intentional change, using alternative learning techniques that support human interactions based on nonviolence and peaceful coexistence, might help to evolve a culture of peace.

摘要

人类是否已经进化为暴力和好战的物种？对和平社会的研究、战争和暴力的历史趋势以及合作表明并非如此。进化不是命中注定的；人类的选择是对这一过程的重要干预。一门关于有意图改变的科学，使用支持基于非暴力和和平共处的人类互动的替代学习技术，可能有助于进化出一种和平文化。
