Cubs of the Wolf

The narrative follows a graduate sociologist who secures an unprecedented research grant to study a cluster of worlds whose culture underwent a radical peaceful transformation after a long history of aggression. Accompanied by his fiancée, he investigates historical records, scientific theories, and local testimony to determine whether technological, psychological, or social forces produced the change. The account examines ethical dilemmas arising from interventions that alter identity or behavior, the tension between academic integrity and personal stakes, and the broader implications of applying scientific findings to societies.
