The Yanomamo, the langurs, the Romans and the Greeks were

all driven by the same force.  They were hungry for sex.  And that

hunger translated into something else--the desire to populate the world

with their own offspring.   But the men were not alone.  Effie the

cannibalistic gorilla and Livia the Roman schemer were out for the

same thing.

Under the impulse toward violence often lies the simple urge to

have kids.42  Which leads us to one of the fundamental forces behind

The Lucifer Principle: the greed of genes.
