"Evolutionary biologist Lee Alan Dugatkin has made his career studying
cooperation, so it makes perfect sense that the subject of his latest
book would be an anarchist. In The Prince of Evolution Dugatkin tells
the story of the Russian prince, evolutionary theorist, and political
radical Peter Alexeyevich Kropotkin whose Darwinian theory of mutual aid
was the first to argue that cooperation was an integral part of natural
selection."
