Summary:"Sociobiology and evolutionary psychology experts posit that behaviors from our ancestors that favored survival and adaptation still influence us today. The author, with input from a new generation of Darwinists, explores six primal narratives recurring in the horror genre: territoriality, tribalism, fear of genetic assimilation, mating rituals, fear of the predator, and distrust or fear of the Other"--
