Description

Drawing on neuroscience, endocrinology, and evolutionary biology, this collection of essays examines how hormones and brain chemistry shape aggression, stress, behavior, and the choices people make. Robert M. Sapolsky investigates testosterone’s role in what we often consider distinctly masculine conduct while questioning simplistic assumptions about biology and human nature. With wit, clarity, and a deep respect for scientific complexity, he connects laboratory findings to everyday life and explores the biological roots of both our most troubling impulses and our capacity for empathy and cooperation.
