Literature, science and a new humanities

by Jonathan Gottschall

This study analyses the conflicts in Homer's epics through the lens of modern evolutionary biology, arguing that the intense warfare was driven by a shortage of available women. It serves as a bio-anthropological case study of why men fight.
