A theory of everyone as a grand unifying theory
A theory of everyone, similar to a theory of everything in physics, claims to be a grand unifying theory that connects the human and social sciences. It asserts that all mature sciences have reached a point where they can make sense of the world by using a unifying theory. The book argues that understanding human behavior and society requires considering genetic evolution, cultural evolution, and the influence of environmental factors.
