(Evolutionary) Theories of Warfare in Preindustrial (Foraging)
Societies

JOHAN VAN DER DENNEN

Neuroendocrinology Letters,2002; 23(suppl 4):55-65

I present an inventory of theories of war causation (and on the
origin of war) in preindustrial (traditional, foraging,
`primitive', hunter-gatherer, band- and tribe-level)
societies, with emphasis on the roles of natural selection, sexual
selection and kin selection. Also the school of sociocultural
evolution is briefly discussed.
