Description
In this lively collection of essays, a celebrated neurobiologist and primatologist explores what makes humans—and other animals—behave the way they do. Drawing on research, field observations of baboons, and an engaging range of scientific examples, the book examines the interplay of genes and environment, the biological dimensions of sex and social behavior, and the ways culture and society shape our lives. Curious, witty, and richly anecdotal, these essays tackle provocative questions without reducing human nature to simple explanations. The result is an entertaining and illuminating portrait of the human animal in all its complexity.
