This book is an intellectual analytical study exploring the deep roots of human violence from its origins to its contemporary manifestations. The author poses a central question: Is violence an incidental behavior or an intrinsic part of human existence and survival struggle?

The book explores the paths of violence development throughout history, based on philosophy, sociology, anthropology, and psychology, to unravel its multiple causes: from instincts and biological drives to economic, political, and cultural factors. It also sheds light on the relationship of violence with power, identity, and fear, and its role in shaping civilizations and societies.

It is a work that opens a horizon for critical thinking about human nature and the possibility of transcending recurring cycles of violence through the construction of a more just and peaceful human consciousness.
