The author examines, based on his experiences as a physicist, the mechanisms by which animals and humans behave in communities. The results provide incredibly exciting insights into current phenomena and developments in our society. Our test reader Elisabeth Evertz, owner of the Scheuermann bookstore in Duisburg, says: "Gantefor captivates you by clearly translating scientific insights into sociological and political developments. The astonishing parallels leave one in awe. One may spontaneously agree with Gantefors' arguments or vehemently reject them, but one certainly cannot remain unaffected. I enjoy this kind of book that speaks to me, shakes me up, and compels me to form my own opinion.".
