By: Sapolsky, Robert M [author.]Material type: TextTextPublisher: London : Vintage, 2018Description: 790 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 20 cmContent type: text | still image Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9780099575061 (pbk.) :Subject(s): Human beings | Human behavior | Neurobiology | Neurophysiology | Science | ScienceDDC classification: 599.9 Summary: Why do we do what we do? 'Behave' achieves what no other text has previously attempted: it brings together a whole host of sciences - the study of our brains, genes and hormones, the investigations of psychology, anthropology and evolutionary history - and by gathering them together offers the richest and most accurate understanding yet of the causes of human behaviour. It shows that any explanation of why we behave the way we do is incomplete until we consider all of these factors together; when combined, the insights that emerge are unprecedented and astonishing.
