Behave
The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst
Book • 2017
In this book, Sapolsky delves into the complex interplay of biological processes, including neuroscience, genetics, and hormones, to explain why humans behave in various ways.
He examines behavior on multiple time scales, from the immediate neural responses to actions that occur over centuries and millennia.
The book addresses topics such as tribalism, xenophobia, hierarchy, competition, morality, and free will, providing a nuanced and multifaceted understanding of human behavior.
Sapolsky's approach integrates cutting-edge research across several disciplines to offer insights into the biological basis of human actions, both good and bad.
