Overview

The Alpha Algorithm: How Evolution Forged Human Nature begins with David Hume's timeless insight that ""all the perceptions of the mind are founded on experience,"" and then traces how thousands of years of human experience-violent, painful, triumphant, and treacherous-reshaped the human mind into what it is today. This book argues that every major turn in history left a psychological fingerprint: the early struggles of Homo species carved instincts for competition and fear; the tribal battles for territory taught our brains to see outsiders as threats; the ancient wars of Mesopotamia trained the mind to value dominance over coexistence; the betrayals in the Ramayana and Mahabharata taught generations that even family bonds can collapse under the weight of ego and power; the rise of empires trained humans to obey hierarchy and to crave status; the Mongol onslaught etched lessons about brutality, mobility, and preemptive violence; European colonization rewired humanity to equate expansion with destiny and exploitation with success. how easily ordinary people can become killers; and genocides revealed how quickly morality collapses when authority, fear, and group pressure converge. Each event, each conflict, each betrayal added another layer to the internal machinery of the mind-teaching it how to manipulate, how to adapt, how to dominate, and how to survive not through unity but through strategy. The Alpha Algorithm argues that we are not simply social animals seeking harmony; we are descendants of those who learned to cut the very hands that fed them, to betray siblings for thrones, to reshape belief into tools of control, and to view the world as a competition long before it became a civilization. This book reveals how every triumph and tragedy across human history strengthened the internal algorithm that drives ambition, hierarchy, deception, violence, cooperation, and power today-showing that the human mind is not shaped by morality or progress, but by the relentless lessons of survival carved into it by time.
