About the book
Why do we act the way we do? Robert Sapolsky, a renowned neuroendocrinologist, explores the biological roots of human behavior, from neural and hormonal processes to evolution and culture. By combining research from neuroscience, primatology, psychology, and history, Behave offers an integrative perspective that challenges oversimplifications about what makes us human and reveals the complexity behind our actions, both the noblest and the most disturbing.
With characteristic erudition and humor, Sapolsky invites the reader to rethink concepts of responsibility, morality, and free will in light of what we know about our brain and body.
