One Planet, One People: Beyond Us Vs. Them by Carleton S. Coon, ISBN 9781591022336

Publisher Description:
In this succinct overview of the evolution of human society, career diplomat Carl Coon argues that the 21st century will witness a crucially important and difficult transition for the human race. Blending the disciplines of anthropology and evolutionary psychology with the experience of over thirty years in the diplomatic corps, Coon makes a persuasive case that no time in the history of the planet has been more critical since the emergence of language, some fifty thousand years ago.
