In the course of his inquiry, Howard Bloom became convinced that evolution could explain the fundamentals of human nature and the broad sweep of human history. He is not alone. It is no longer heretical to study our own species as one of evolution's creations, and many books are appearing on the subject. The Lucifer Principle, however, does not merely report on the rapid developments that are taking place within academia. Howard Bloom has his own vision of evolution and human nature that many scientific authorities would dispute. He is a heretic among former heretics. The bone of contention is the organismic nature of human society. - Foreword.

It started out great! then it crashed down... I really feel sad because at first I thought “PHEWWWWWWWW! A good philosophy book, the first ever since Camus's La pest, a year and a half ago” But now, I am envelopped with great misery because this book didn't work out for me :(
Some arguments weren't, even if he was right, sufficiently justified.
At other times, he gave sooooo many examples and names of searchers and scientists that his own argument gets lost and absorbed into the so many examples. You just lose the argument.
At first, I thought this is a sarcastic person, and I love sarcasm in books, then he turned towards this person who, at the end of each chapter, will conclude his point of view with that “epic” highly ridiculous sentence.
I really tried to love you, little book, I did :( and it feels me with great chagrin that I didn't :(
