Title: Blood Rites Author: Barbara Ehrenreich Narrator: Amy Landon Format: mp3 Length: 9 hrs and 56 mins Release date: 01-13-20 Ratings: 5 out of 5 stars, 11 ratings Genres: Anthropology Publisher's Summary: What draws our species to war? What makes us see violence as a kind of sacred duty, or a ritual that boys must undergo to "become" men? Newly reissued, Blood Rites takes listeners on an original journey from the elaborate human sacrifices of the ancient world to the carnage and holocaust of 20th-century "total war." Ehrenreich sifts deftly through the fragile records of prehistory and discovers the wellspring of war in an unexpected place - not in a "killer instinct" unique to the males of our species, but in the blood rites early humans performed.
