In Men in Groups, anthropologist Lionel Tiger presents a bold and groundbreaking argument: that male bonding is not a social accident but a deep-seated biological drive, one that has shaped civilisations from the warrior bands of ancient history to the scrum of a rugby pitch and the disciplined ranks of kamikaze pilots. Drawing on evolutionary biology, ethology, and cross-cultural anthropology, Tiger constructs a compelling case that all-male associations are a universal feature of human society, rooted in our primate past and reinforced through millennia of collective survival.\n\nTiger's work is both provocative and rigorous, cutting against the grain of mid-twentieth-century social science by insisting that biology cannot be neatly separated from culture. Men in Groups challenges readers to reconsider the forces that underpin male-dominated institutions — political, military, and recreational — and asks uncomfortable questions about power, exclusion, and the instincts we inherit rather than choose. Decades after its first publication, the book retains a sharp, unsettling relevance: just how much of what men do together is truly a matter of free will?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49216201130203,"sku":"2026200014466-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/fa221c9f-1b91-41e4-9305-cc3d9ae6fd18.png?v=1788405218","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014466-secondhand-men-in-groups","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
