«The Social Contract» is the anthropological essay by Robert Ardrey, published by HarperCollins Distribution Services in hardback (406 pages, in English).
Ardrey, author of African Genesis and The Territorial Imperative, explores the evolutionary roots of social order and disorder. He compares animal and human behaviour to argue that the social contract rests on an inherited biological basis, in a reflection that crosses ethology, anthropology and political philosophy.
The Social Contract is the third volume in the Robert Ardrey's Nature of Man series. It includes drawings by Berdine Ardrey and a bibliography; the first edition was published in New York in 1970.
A work for readers interested in ethology, evolutionary anthropology, behavioural biology and political philosophy.
