Here is the summation of a lifetime of research & speculation on nearly every aspect of human development by one of the world's greatest scientists. Professor Darlington's book is a revolutionary advancement of the work begun by Darwin's "The Descent of Man", and like that work, it will stand as a landmark in the history of modern thought. Darlington sees history as a continuation of the Darwinian process - an endless interplay of genetics and environment. Within this structure he ranges, with the clarity, wit and grace of a master stylist, over all of human history using recent advances in genetics as well as anthropology, archeology and sociology to achieve a radical new perspective. He shows how human heredity has shaped not only man's physical evolution but the development of his personal and social life. In Darlington's brilliant vision, breeding patterns have determined religion, war, migration, industry, kingship, the rise and fall of empires, artistic achievement, and all the other important features of social history. "The Evolution of Man and Society" is full of grave lessons, profound insights, luminous summations, startling speculations on the critical issues in human history: the conflict between materialism and idealism in American culture, the genetic basis of racial conflict, the anthropology of conquest, the evolution of aristocracy, the social function of religion, the dawn of man, the genesis of political revolution. In addition, Darlington's analysis yields literally thousands of fascinating details. The Evolution of Man and Society is an inexhaustible store of knowledge and insight, to be reread and pondered - and perhaps to change the course of modern thought. Professor C. D. Darlington is a Fellow of the Royal Society, Sherardian Professor of Botany and Regius Professor of Biology at the University of Oxford, Director of the Innes Horticultural Institution and Keeper of the botanic Gardens of the University of Oxford.

The whys, hows, and mechanics of history.
By Bruce Crabtree (bruce26@m5.sprynet.com)
C. D. Darlington looks at history from the perspective of biology and human behavior. Instead of simply declaring that thus-and-such happened, followed by such-and-thus, Darlington tells us why things happened. He describes the engines which have driven both historical individuals and civilizations to do as they have done. It's all there, from soup to nuts, in this comprehensive treatise on human civilization . . . and not in the least boring, I might add.

Survey of history with evolutionary biology basis
By Rerevisionist
The first three chapters - less than 10% of the book, and smaller than the bibliography and index - are well worth a careful read, as they summarise the whole business of types of ape and monkey -> chromosomes and other genetic links to mankind, including variations between species of these animals which hint at the way mankind evolved. Darlington mostly discusses (of course) the finer points of change, not speciation as such. This includes externally caused changes, such as sickle cell, and also changes in structures needed for speech. He examines monkey societies and the relation to oestrus. He discusses variability, and the connection with breeding strategies and such things as incest taboo and genetic distance between breeding couples. He looks at the way diseases and parasites (and carriers of parasites) were influenced by man's expansion. He looks at ecological niches - fishing, cold climates, farming, hunting - and boundaries between territories, such as mountain ranges, and the effects of climate on races. There's interesting anthropological material, much of it from India.
The great bulk of the book examines human history so far as it was known. There are omissions - China, the Mongols, the western hemisphere are rather underrepresented. Moreover, as is liable to happen with history, some of it is wrong - he has for example his map of the spread of Jews shows he had no idea about the Khazars. He is pro-Lenin for some reason. However he's good on the biological effects of (for example) celibacy in some organisations, control of fertility, insistence on inbreeding, the uses of castration, royal dynasties.
Roughly speaking, whenever Darlington generalises and makes use of many sources, he's sounder than when focussing on individuals. The first three chapters are recommended for an overview written in pre-DNA times.

It is more than obvious that whomever gave good ratings to an "Evolution Book
By ArielV.
WHAT A LOAD OF "nonesenses..." Continuing the Work THAT Darwin's "BEGUN..." "The Descent of Man", """""""""""DARWIN""""""""""" THAT IS CONSIDERED BY YHE BIPARTISAN SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY AS A "GOD LESS"., AND, FULLY DEVELOPED, "BABOON..." AND, SOME OTHER RETARDED EVOLUTIONIST, IS CONTINUING HIS WORK..!!!!!!!!!!
It is more than obvious that whomever gave good ratings to an "Evolution Book..." is a friend of the Author, cause that retardance of Apes evolving Mens into is not Real, and those evolutionist's are a bunch of liers, words twisting; Babbon's...
But, these people have been deceiveng you all out there by saying:
-That an 1 1/2 feet Ape like Ida that took over 43 millions of years to evolved in a 3 feet Ape like Lucy, further evolved into over 5,000 humans Ethnics races in less than 3..! Just by chiling around the World and, mating on steroids..!
-That people in Africa got black, cuz the Sun Radiation, when Africa is not even the hottest place in Earth., but the Equator..!
(So, Equatorian's should be beyond black, cuz you turn black with Sun Radiation! But, that is not the case..!)
-THAT THE SUMERIAN CULTURE WERE NOTHING, BUT MYTH'S. YET, ANYBODY CAN TAKE AN ONLINE TOUR IN THE BRITISH HISTORY MUSEUM AND SEE SUMERIANS ARTIFACTS OF ALL KIND'S...
-THAT THE WHEEL CAME OUT OF CHINA. WHEN IN THE BRITISH H.M, ANYONE CAN SEE THE SUMERIANS CHARIOTS WITH WHEELS...
-THAT HUMANS STARTED CRAFTING METALS IN THE NEOLITHIC PERIOD, WHEN THE SUMERIANS SWORDS AND POTERY, WERE CRAFTED OUT OF METALS. AND, THERE ARE UP TO 17,000 YEARS OLD SITES AROUND THE WORLD, THAT HAVE METAL'S EMBEDDED IN THEIR STONES BLOCKS, LIKE; TIWANAKU..!
-THAT THOUSANDS OF PYRAMIDS AROUND THE WORLD WERE BUILT BY CULTURES UNKNOWN TO EACH OTHER BY "MERE" COINCIDENCE. DESPITE HAVING TREMENDOUS "ODVIOUS," COMMON ANCESTRY...!!!
(AND, SUCH OTHER LOAD OF NONESENSE'S THAT ARE "JAW" DROPPING... AND, YOU ALL ARE LEAVING YOUR KIDS AT SCHOOLS ACROSS AMERICA, AND THE WORLD , UNDER THE CARE OF THESE RETARDED, "GOD" LESS BABOON'S, THAT ARE DECEIVING YOU ALL., AND, SMILING AT YOUR FACES...)
