Death from a Distance and the Birth of a Humane Universe: Human Evolution, Behavior, History, and Your Future

A powerful Book with a powerful brilliant idea, for common people.

The book is very well written, comprehensive, and informative. While the book discusses matters of science, history and anthropology it is written in plain english with sufficient explanations that it can be read by everybody, not just the intellectual elite.
The book puts forth a radical new idea for human biological, behavioral, psychological development. It describes a novel theory that finds support in every step of our evolutionary past, and allows for the creation of powerful predictions for our future.
Whilst it may initially appear as an interesting read, for those that make the effort to fully and conclusively understand the message, it may in fact be life changing. As I read through this book with the Ben Franklin Thinking Society, we attempted to draw correlations between the book and historical happenings within US History, and current events. It was amazing to see how powerful this theory truly was.
For all those who have read and enjoyed titles like: Guns, Germs and Steal by Jared Diamond, this is another MUST read. Although I have to admit that I found Mr. Bingham's theory to be more conclusive then any other I have read before.
It should also be noted that the research is outstanding, and was praised by many of our intellectual "heavy weights".

WOW, by far one of the most compelling and best researched books I have read thus far!

The theory is brilliant, yet simple. The argument is sound and logical.
While this book should be used for history classes in colleges it is written in a way that all of us can follow it and make sense of it. It is a great peace of research and well supported. I encourage everyone to read this book if they are interested in understanding history in a profound and logical context.

Amazing insight into what it means to be Human. A must read for anyone interested in how human uniqueness may help us to solve the many problems of the future.

This book establishes on a whole other level exactly what it really means to be a human and why we are unique. The book presents solid evidence and teaches the reader along the way how to think scientifically, so do not be afraid to read it if your science background is not strong. The historical aspects, insights into sexual behaviors and social context are invaluable tools for use in everyday life. I believe that after reading this book as a person you can not help but be changed by the power of the story within. The insights into humanity are earth shattering and will alter your everyday perception of daily tasks. I urge anyone interested in world peace to read this as well because it becomes very clear that our quest for peace can only be sought through the coercive theory of law enforcement. Best wishes to all who take the journey through the book and with time this new and powerful theory may just help us to solve many of the problems we are soon to face as human beings.
