The Territorial Imperative
''The Territorial Imperative: A Personal Inquiry Into the Animal Origins of Property and Nations'', usually referred to as ''The Territorial Imperative'', is a 1966 nonfiction work by Robert Ardrey. It describes the evolutionarily determined instinct among humans toward territoriality and the implications of this territoriality in human meta-phenomena such as property ownership and nation building .〔 ''The Territorial Imperative'' extended Ardrey's groundbreaking anthropological work, contributed to the development of the science of ethology, and encouraged an increasing public interest in human origins.
''The Territorial Imperative'' is the second book in Robert Ardrey's Nature of Man Series. It is preceded by ''African Genesis'' and followed by ''The Social Contract,'' and ''The Hunting Hypothesis.'' It was illustrated by Ardrey's wife, the South African actress and illustrator Berdine Ardrey (neé Grunewald). Ardrey dedicated ''The Territorial Imperative'' to Henry Eliot Howard, who was noted for being one of the first to describe in detail the territoriality behaviors in birds.
==Synopsis==
''The Territorial Imperative'' develops the theses originally introduced in ''African Genesis: A Personal Investigation into the Animal Origins and Nature of Man,'' which was published five years earlier. In ''African Genesis'' Ardrey posited that man originated in Africa (instead of Asia), that he is driven by inherited instincts to acquire land and defend territory, and that the development of weapons was a fundamental turning point in his evolution.〔Hunt, George P. "Provocateur in Anthropology." ''Time'' 26 August 1966: 2. Print.〕 ''The Territorial Imperative'' develops these theses with a special emphasis on the hold that territory has on man. It goes on to elucidate the role that inherited evolutionary instinct, particularly the territorial imperative, plays in human society in phenomena such as property ownership and nation building.
