Spiteful Mutants: Evolution, Sexuality, Religion, and Politics in the 21st Century

Every zombie movie has a terrifying underlying message. The enemy isn’t supernatural or an alien from another planet. “The enemy is . . . us!” The “undead” — mutated humans, grotesque versions of their previous selves — are destroying everything in their path and bringing about the downfall of civilization. Even worse, they are contagious, gradually absorbing the few survivors left into the hoard.

In Spiteful Mutants, evolutionary psychologist Edward Dutton argues that we are experiencing a “zombie apocalypse” of our own. The critical threat to civilization is not so much enemies abroad as it is nihilistic and self-destructive tendencies within our own populations. Dutton examines such salient social phenomena through a Darwinian lens: from BLM to QAnon; from those seeking sexual transformation to the Incels who don’t have sex at all; from atheists to those with a religious zeal for “social justice.” All these phenomena can best be understood as genetic results of the Industrial Revolution.
