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.

'One of the best scientist-writers of our time ... Accessible to all.' Oliver Sacks
