The Evolution of Evil
The Science Behind Humanity's Dark Side
By NEIL BRIGHTON

Why do humans commit unspeakable acts of cruelty... and why does it feel so familiar?

You've seen it in history.
You've felt it in relationships.
You've sensed it in yourself.
That creeping presence of evil—subtle, calculated, cold.

Whether it's genocides, betrayals, manipulation, or apathy in the face of suffering, one question echoes through time:

Is evil born... or made?

The Pain

  • Have you ever wondered how seemingly normal people commit horrifying acts?
  • Are you disturbed by how quickly society turns violent during chaos or war?
  • Do you feel a dark, unexplainable part within yourself—one you're afraid to understand?
  • You are not alone.
    For generations, humanity has struggled to confront the shadow within.
    But ignoring evil won't protect you from it. Understanding it might.

    The Agitation

    The truth is uncomfortable.
    Evil isn't just a myth, a villain in fiction, or a historical footnote.
    It's biological. Psychological. Evolutionary.
    It exists in you, me, and all of us—lurking beneath the social masks we wear.

    And yet, society distracts us with feel-good narratives, pretending that evil is "other people."
    But if we don't understand it, we can't stop it.

    What if we told you that cruelty, manipulation, tribalism, and moral decay are not random—but predictable patterns written into our survival code?

    The Solution

    The Evolution of Evil is not another book about history's villains.
    It's a scientific and psychological deep dive into how evil has evolved with humanity... and how it hides in plain sight.

    With chilling insights, compelling research, and haunting real-world examples, NEIL BRIGHTON peels back the layers of morality, revealing:

    What You'll Discover Inside:

    ✔️ How evolutionary psychology explains selfishness, violence, and genocide.
    ✔️ Why the brain is wired to protect the tribe—even at the cost of others' lives.
    ✔️ How sociopaths, narcissists, and dictators exploit our primitive instincts.
    ✔️ Why "good" people do evil things in groups or under pressure.
    ✔️ How media, politics, and fear activate the dark triad of human behavior.
    ✔️ Real-life studies on obedience, conformity, and moral disengagement.
    ✔️ How to recognize evil in relationships, leadership, and even within yourself.
    ✔️ Tools for awareness, protection, and resisting the darkness within.

    Why This Book is Essential Reading:

    ✅ You'll understand the deep roots of evil—not just in others, but within society itself.
    ✅ You'll be equipped to protect yourself from emotional and psychological manipulation.
    ✅ You'll learn to recognize red flags before it's too late.
    ✅ You'll gain insight into the darkest chapters of human history—and what they teach us about today.
    ✅ You'll never see the world—or yourself—the same way again.

    Evil evolves. But so can you.

    This book is not for the faint of heart. It's for the brave.
    For those who dare to uncover the truth, no matter how...
