Beschreibungen
As the famous primatologist and neuroscientist Robert Sapolsky says, if you want to understand human behavior and the nature of a good or bad deed, you have to understand literally everything - both what happened a second before it, and what happened millions of years ago. In the book, the author takes a step-by-step - one might say, in a chronological context - 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 island "hate"? Why do London taxi drivers have an enlarged hippocampus? How are the lengths of the index and ring fingers related to the amount of intrauterine testosterone? How do teenagers differ from children and adults in terms of neuroscience? Are there "pure" altruists? What is the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation? Does free will exist? How do complex social networks influence our behavior and decision making? And this is only a small part of the issues considered in the large-scale work of the famous scientist.
