The Lucifer Principle, a book review.

 This book published in 1995 is written by Howard Bloom. It asserts that competition and natural selection inherently evolve "evil" as a byproduct. He goes on to discuss the "Superorganism" as an entity. He also reverts to the age old idea of a "pecking order" and cites examples in the animal kingdom. This book is very, very controversial to specific groups for its idea of giving an objective view of a sociological phenomenon. It attempts to combine the onjective & subjective in a post-conventional way. Overall, I very much enjoyed reading this book & give it 5 out of 5.
