Abstract

This letter is in response to Maria Kett and Michael Rowson's essay ‘Drivers of violent conflict’ (JRSM 2007 100:403-406). The authors are to be commended for summarizing many of the economic and political causes of violent conflict. However, the omission of human evolution as a cause of violent conflict, especially in an article in a major life science journal, is an indication of how limited the study of violent conflict remains.
