Here, we talk about the evolutionary underpinnings of war in human society; the history and evolution of war, and how war manifests itself in pre-state and state societies, in hunter-gatherer, pastoralist, and agricultural societies; the influence of nationalism and religion; the Long Peace and the New Peace; the deterrence role of nuclear weapons; historical trends in war; the possible reasons for the obsolescence of war among the most developed countries and the great powers; the role of terrorism and terrorist attacks; and the possible future of war.
