Abstract
Socio-biology has become popular with Wilson and Dawkins. How to theorize human evolution and selfishness? One must recognize the frequent occurrence of war in human civilization. Hobbes and Spinoza were realist recognizing selfishness. Now, mankind faces both climate change and nuclear confrontation. The only remedy is intergovernmental coordination. But it is slow characterized by myopia and opportunism as well as egoism. Tocqueville stated that Napoleon “democratized” war arriving with 10 times as many soldiers as feudal kings, increasing human misery even more. Could human evolution come to an end?
