ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst" by Robert M. Sapolsky explores the biological factors that shape human behavior, from the neurobiological processes occurring seconds before an action to the evolutionary and cultural influences spanning millennia. The book challenges simple explanations, arguing that behavior arises from a complex interplay of genetics, hormones, environment, and experience. Sapolsky examines how the brain functions in both pro-social and antisocial behaviors and touches on difficult subjects such as aggression, empathy, morality, and war. The book also explores the implications of biology for the criminal justice system. "Behave" offers a comprehensive framework for understanding the multifaceted nature of human behavior, advocating for a more nuanced and holistic perspective.
