Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution: Peter Kropotkin's 1902 essay, challenging the Darwinian principle which states that animal and human kingdoms evolve and survive around the theory of conflict. Instead, Kropotkin suggests that in addition to the existence of conflict, a concept of mutual aid co-exists within societies and it is the latter of these social principles that enables cultures to survive and evolve.
