Description	As the renowned primatologist and neuroscientist Robert Sapolsky puts it, if you want to understand human behaviour and the nature of a good or bad action, you have to understand almost everything — what happened a second before it, and what happened millions of years ago. In this book, Sapolsky examines, step by step and in roughly chronological order, the vast range of factors that shape our behaviour. How does the brain work? What role does the amygdala play, and what do we owe to the frontal cortex? What does the insula “hate”? Why do London taxi drivers have enlarged hippocampi? How are the relative lengths of the index and ring fingers connected with prenatal testosterone exposure? From the perspective of neuroscience, what makes adolescents different from children and adults? Do genuinely “pure” altruists exist? What is the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation? Is there such a thing as free will? How do complex social relationships influence behaviour and decision-making? These are only a few of the questions explored in this ambitious work by one of today’s best-known scientists.
