What to expect
The Lucifer Priciple is a revolutionary work that explores the intricate relationships among genetics, human behavior, and culture to put forth the thesis that “evil” is a by-product of nature’s strategies for creation and that it is woven into our most basic biological fabric. Though this argument is not a new one—it has been brought forth by such great historical figures as St. Paul, Thomas Hobbes, and Raymond Dart—Howard Bloom here takes fresh data from a variety of sources and shapes it into a lens through which listeners can reinterpret the human experience.
Critics Review
“Unlike anything you’ve ever read before. An act of astonishing intellectual courage.”
“Readers will be mesmerized by the mirror Bloom holds to the human condition and dumbfounded by the fusillade of eclectic data that arrives with the swiftness and intensity of a furious tennis volley. His style is effortless, engaging, witty, and brisk…He draws on a dozen years of research into a jungle of scholarly fields…and meticulously supports every bit of information.”
“Provocative…explosive…feisty…a string of rhetorical firecrackers that challenge our many forms of self-righteousness.”
“Bloom’s tour of science and history is fascinating…A grand, exciting idea.”

“An ambitious, often provocative study.”
“Bloom draws on an impressive range of historical, anthropological, and biological research to support his thesis…Thought-provoking.”
“The Lucifer Principle is a long step forward to understand human biology. Its original assessment is brilliant; its historical facts are unassailable…An outstanding book.”
