Why does conflict return, generation after generation? To War Is Human? explores the deep origins of violence, tracing its roots from primate behaviour to modern geopolitics. Moving beyond simple narratives, L. J. Morten examines how territory, identity, belief, fear, and ambition shaped humanity's long relationship with war. Blending anthropology, psychology, and history, this book offers a clear, unflinching look at why conflict persists - and what it means for a world that still hopes for peace. Thoughtful, bold, and accessible, it invites readers to confront an uncomfortable question: is war a failure of humanity, or part of what made us human?
