Drama, Politics, and Evolution

Exploring the evolution of political nature over two million years, this book delves into the rituals and performances that have legitimized various regimes throughout history. It highlights the impact of genetic and cultural evolution from the Pleistocene Epoch on contemporary political preferences and artistic expressions. Through diverse case studies, from tribal initiation rites to modern dramas and films, the narrative culminates in an analysis of the decline of social cohesion in the USA post-1965, linking cultural works to the rise of polarized politics and authoritarianism.
