武装冲突类型的战争，是一种民族或国家，无论古代或者现代，皆有的特殊暴力形式。它有别于采集时代群体之间小规模的领土争斗。有学者认为，随着时间的推移，战争逐渐退出人们的普遍个体经历，对日常生活的影响也越来越小。他们提出，古代采集狩猎者在小规模争斗中所遭受的身体伤害远大于多数现代公民在战争中所受到的伤害。我们尝试理解和评估此类观点，以及它所指涉的规模和范围的变化。我们希望采用一种环境和生态的新视角来探讨所谓“文明的”战争与和平。
War, defined as armed conflict, has been a history of violence practiced mainly by nations or states, ancient or modern, and is quite different from territorial skirmishes among prehistorical foraging peoples. According to some scholars, the violence of war has diminished over time as a common, personal experience, affecting fewer and fewer people in their daily lives. Ancient hunters and gatherers, they say, suffered more bodily harm from skirmishes than most modern citizens do from wars. We seek to understand and evaluate that claim, and the changes of scale and scope it may have entailed. We want to examine an alternative environmental and ecological perspective in the study of “civilized” warfare and peace.
