Author Sapolsky R.
Title Kto my takie? Geny, nashe telo, obshhestvo
Description “It’s all in the genes,” we sometimes say when explaining someone’s behaviour. But how justified is this claim in light of modern science and recent discoveries in genetics and human behaviour? Neuroscientist Robert Sapolsky, professor of biology and neurology at Stanford University and a renowned science communicator, has spent his entire professional life exploring this question.

The relationship between the brain and the body, and their ability to influence one another, is one of the central concepts of modern biology. We are the product of our cells and everything that happens within them, and the brain is just as much a biological organ as, say, the bladder. The muscle cells in the bladder wall and the extraordinarily sophisticated neurons of the cerebral cortex have far more in common than we might imagine. The brain is simply another organ — albeit an exceptionally complex one — and its activity cannot be separated from its existence within the body.

The book is divided into three parts, devoted respectively to genes, the workings of the brain, and the organisation of society.
