In this collection of erudite essays on science, the world and our relation to both, behavioural biologist Robert Sapolsky interprets the peculiar drives and intrinsic needs of that most exotic species - homo sapiens.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'Anyone with even the vaguest interest in fellow human beings will be riveted by Sapolsky's sharp, witty and engaging discussion.' The Times
'One of the best scientist-writers of our time ... Accessible to all.' Oliver Sacks
