520 1 _a"In How War Began, author Keith F. Otterbein draws on primate behavior research, archaeological research, data gathered from the Human Relations area files, and a career spent in research and reflection on war to argue for two separate origins. He identifies two types of military organization: one that developed two million years ago at the dawn of humankind, wherever groups of hunters met, and a second that developed some five thousand years ago, in four identifiable regions, when the first states arose and proceeded to embark upon military conquests." "A definitive resource for anthropologists, social scientists, and historians, How War began is written for all who are interested in warfare, whether they be military buffs or those seeking to understand the past and the present of humankind."--BOOK JACKET.
