Mutual Aid: A Factor of EvolutionIn this cornerstone of modern liberal social theory, Peter Kropotkin states that the most effective human and animal communities are essentially cooperative, rather than competitive.

In this cornerstone of modern liberal social theory, Peter Kropotkin states that the most effective human and animal communities are essentially cooperative, rather than competitive. Kropotkin based this classic on his observations of natural phenomena and history, forming a work of stunning and well-reasoned scholarship. Essential to the understanding of human evolution as well as social organization, it offers a powerful counterpoint to the tenets of Social Darwinism. It also cites persuasive evidence of human nature's innate compatibility with anarchist society.
Kropotkin's basic argument is correct, noted evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould. Struggle does occur in many modes, and some lead to cooperation among members of a species as the best pathway to advantage for individuals. Anthropologist Ashley Montagu declared that Mutual Aid will never be any more out of date than will the Declaration of Independence. New facts may increasingly become available, but we can already see that they will serve largely to support Kropotkin's conclusion that 'in the ethical progress of man, mutual support--not mutual struggle--has had the leading part.' Physician and author Alex Comfort asserted that Kropotkin profoundly influenced human biology by his theory of Mutual Aid. . . . He was one of the first systematic students of animal communities, and may be regarded as the founder of modern social ecology.

They look just like the photo...fit and feel great!
Size: Large, Color: White/Gray (6 Pairs)
No complaints on these. They fit great, are supportive cotton, and look great. I was so used to the cheap Wal-Mart-bought fruit of the loom (think) ankle socks that I had no idea what I was missing. These are thicker, made better, and feel great. They even support the back of your foot from riding against your shoes. Because they are a bit thicker, they do make my feet hotter than before...but I've adjusted the shoe I wear to allow more breathability and don't wear them for long periods anyway. I live in Texas...we wear flip flops most of the year round. :)

Love these socks! They are absorptive, comfortable, supportive, attractive & great fitting!
Size: Medium, Color: White/Gray (6 Pairs)
These have been my go-to socks for almost 8 years now. I love that they are cotton, so they absorb sweat rather than give you that slimy feel you can get from polyester. They have great support in the mid foot and fit great due to the sizing. Just the right amount of padding and exhibiting an attractive low cut below the ankles. I highly recommend these socks. I hope this is helpful.
