Behave The Biology Of Humans At Our Best And Worst

Robert Sapolsky's 'Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst' — a monumental exploration of why humans do what they do. Organized by time scale: what happens in the brain one second before a behavior, what hormones shape it minutes to hours before, how environment shapes it days to years before, how evolution shaped it millennia before. Covers aggression, morality, empathy, hierarchy, criminal justice, free will, and war and peace.
