The question of what makes Homo sapiens so unique and the mystery behind its incomprehensible evolutionary success is constantly being explored by scientists and will likely continue to captivate them until the end of time. Professor Joseph Henrich, renowned anthropologist and author of popular science books, proposes a fundamental shift in approaching this question: we must consider the influence of culture on our biology and genetics—intensely intertwined, they together generate a unique set of processes that shape our behavior and development. Using fascinating examples and a vast array of scientific data from a wide range of human-study disciplines, Henrich constructs a broad and enriched picture of our evolutionary trajectory. And unexpectedly, we find a multitude of answers to the eternally tormenting questions: “Why do people behave the way they do in certain situations? Where do they get this and that from? Why are they so similar—and yet so different?”
