As the famous primatologist and neurobiologist Robert Sapolsky says, if you want to understand human behavior and the nature of a good or bad act, you will have to understand literally everything - both what happened a second before it, and what was millions of years ago. In the book, the author step by step - you can say, in chronological section - and in great detail considers a huge number of factors that influence our behavior. How does our brain work? What is the amygdala responsible for, and what should we thank the frontal cortex for? What does the insula "hate"? Why do London cab drivers have an enlarged hippocampus? How are the lengths of the index and ring fingers and the amount of intrauterine testosterone related? How do adolescents differ from children and adults in terms of neurobiology? Are there any "pure" altruists? What is the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation? Does free will exist? How do complex social ties influence our behavior and decision-making? And these are just a small part of the questions addressed in a major work by a renowned scholar.
