One of the most profound paradoxes in nature is how some animals, including humans, could have become so cooperative through a harsh evolutionary process known as 'red in tooth and claw.' Lee Dugatkin discusses the latest thinking, which is getting richer by the day, in a manner that everyone will understand.

Like four pillars of wisdom, Dugatkin describes four different strategies of cooperation...Each chapter is richly illustrated by well-chosen and often illuminating examples of cooperative behaviors.

[Dugatkin] offers a new way of thinking about human society, as well as a host of amazing stories about the trials and motivations of our animal relatives.
