Evolution shaped us – bodies and minds – to survive in a world that we no longer inhabit. For us to thrive in our present environment, we need to take a realistic view of what we are and where we came from.
It’s the 16th of March, 1968, and 24-year-old Second Lieutenant William L. Calley Jr. has only been in Vietnam for three months. Hailing from Miami, Florida, United States, the short, stocky college drop-out is preparing to lead about a hundred men from Charlie Company on a mission to find and kill Vietcong enemies.
