Why do human beings behave as they do?

We are capable of savage acts of violence but also spectacular feats of kindness: is one side of our nature destined to win out over the other?

Every act of human behaviour has multiple layers of causation, spiralling back seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years, even centuries, right back to the dawn of time and the origins of our species.

In the epic sweep of history, how does our biology affect the arc of war and peace, justice and persecution? How have our brains evolved alongside our cultures?

This is the exhilarating story of human morality and the science underpinning the biggest question of all: what makes us human?

Anmeldelser av Behave:

"Awe-inspiring . This is the best scientific book written for non-specialists that I have ever read. You will learn more about human nature than in any other book I can think of, and you will be inspired" (Henry Marsh, author of Do No Harm)
"It.s no exaggeration to say that Behave is one of the best nonfiction books I.ve ever read" (Wall Street Journal)
"Magisterial . This extraordinary survey of the science of human behaviour takes the reader on an epic journey . Sapolsky makes the book consistently entertaining, with an infectious excitement at the puzzles he explains . a miraculous synthesis of scholarly domains" (Steven Poole Guardian)
"Truly all-encompassing . detailed, accessible, fascinating" (Telegraph)
"Rarely does an almost 800-page book keep my attention from start to finish, but Behave is exceptional in its scale, scope, detail and writing style ... Sapolsky places what makes us special in the wider context of humans as animals with brains that are fundamentally similar to those of other species. It is the first book that does so comprehensively enough to qualify as a guide to human behaviour" (Frans de Waal Science)
