Foragers, farmers, and fossil fuels : how human values evolve

by Ian Morris, Richard Seaford, Jonathan D. Spence, Christine M. Korsgaard, Margaret Atwood, Stephen Macedo

This study explores how energy capture methods shape human values and social structures. It analyses historical shifts in attitudes towards equality, hierarchy, and violence, suggesting that moral frameworks evolve according to a society's energy needs.
