This Junior Year Writing course looks at ancient warfare from many angles (emotional, psychological and sociological). We will begin even before the beginning. We will deal with the relationship between prey and predatory behaviors in primates, hominids, and humans and in the relationship of hunting and warfare among foragers and farmers. We will deal with the kinds of structures of leadership and hierarchy created among brigands, war bands, and armies.
