In On Friendship, science journalist Lydia Denworth goes in search of the biological, psychological, and evolutionary foundations of friendship. Together with her, we visit a monkey sanctuary in Puerto Rico and a baboon colony in Kenya to explore the social networks of monkeys that allow us to understand our own. The author shows that friendship originated at the dawn of mankind: the desire to establish close ties also exists among primates. Lydia Denworth also meets with scientists at the forefront of brain and genetics research and discovers that friendship is reflected in brain waves, genomes, and the cardiovascular and immune systems of a person, while loneliness can cause significant damage to health and increase the risk of death. . The author comes to the conclusion that social connections are critical for health and longevity, and encourages us to pay special attention to our friendly relations, to nurture our friendship.
