Humans are the most intelligent beings this planet has ever produced. But how is it that we can travel into space, cure diseases and decode the fundamentals of life and, at the same time, find ourselves faced with an existential crisis that threatens to overwhelm us? What lies behind this uncharacteristic failure to master the most important challenge of our existence? In this compelling book, the leading archaeogeneticist Johannes Krause and journalist Thomas Trappe investigate what DNA can tell us about how we got to where we are and what our future might be. They show how the first humans were defeated again and again and suffered fatal setbacks, and how Homo sapiens succeeded in conquering continents, overcoming natural borders and bringing other species under their control. But the genetic blueprint that enabled us to get to where we are today had one flaw: it didn't factor in planetary boundaries. Now that we are approaching those boundaries for the first time after millions of years of evolution, an urgent question arises: can we learn to live within the available planetary limits, or are we doomed by our DNA to continue to expand, consume, and absorb the resources around us to the point of exhaustion, consigning ourselves and other species to extinction? Has our seemingly unstoppable rise met its ultimate end? While the looming climate crisis does not augur well for humanity's capacity to adapt to the new situation in which we find ourselves, we are not at the mercy of our DNA - or, at least, we don't have to be. But can we harness the lessons of the past to survive the present?

The 2016 and 2020 U.S. presidential elections will be remembered for years as a fierce clash between polarized views, ideologies, and values embedded in an ongoing political and social conflict. The extreme partisanship of contemporary American politics has deepened an ideological cleavage between liberals and conservatives on a number of topics including gun control, taxes, and abortion, and climate change. The academic community has been working on the notions of political and social conflict for many years. However, this research was never translated into a symbiotic body of knowledge helping scholars and practitioners to understand conflict as an adjustable social construct transformed by the realities of a mediatized society. The Handbook of Social and Political Conflict proposes to fill the gap by making state-of-the-art research available to students, scholars, and practitioners. Including coverage of topical issues such as social justice movements, 'cancel culture' and character assassination, misinformation, and the politicization of science among many others, this Handbook provides a thorough examination of the myriad ways in which conflict is manifested in our mediatized society. Interdisciplinary in approach with coverage of global political conflict and social issues, The Handbook of Social and Political Conflict provides a comprehensive overview of intercultural, international, intergenerational and ideological conflict and its resolution, while providing research to help the reader critically evaluate the effectiveness of methods of response to conflict and develop critical thinking regarding conflict resolution. Suitable for students and scholars of both Communication & Media Studies and Political Sciences, and applicable to many other disciplines touching on social justice, social media, and environmental issues.
