The Lucifer Principle

Book • 1995
In *The Lucifer Principle*, Howard Bloom explores the intricate relationships among genetics, human behavior, and culture, positing that 'evil' is a by-product of nature's strategies for creation.

He argues that social groups, or 'superorganisms,' are the primary units of selection, and that competition between these groups drives much of human history.

Bloom draws on a wide range of historical, anthropological, and biological research to support his thesis.
