Behave by Robert M Sapolsky
New York Times bestseller * Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize * One of the Washington Post's 10 Best Books of the Year"It's no exaggeration to say that Behave is one of the best nonfiction books I've ever read." --David P. Barash, The Wall Street Journal

From the bestselling author of A Primate's Memoir and Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will comes a landmark, genre-defining examination of human behavior and an answer to the question: Why do we do the things we do?
Behave is one of the most dazzling tours d'horizon of the science of human behavior ever attempted. Moving across a range of disciplines, Sapolsky--a neuroscientist and primatologist--uncovers the hidden story of our actions. Undertaking some of our thorniest questions relating to tribalism and xenophobia, hierarchy and competition, and war and peace, Behave is a towering achievement--a majestic synthesis of cutting-edge research and a heroic exploration of why we ultimately do the things we do . . . for good and for ill.
Sapolsky is a research associate at the National Museum of Kenya's Institute of Primate Research and a professor of biology and neurology at Stanford University. He wrote A Primate's Memoir and The Problem with Testosterone, which was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. He lives in San Francisco and is a regular contributor to Discover and The Sciences, as well as a MacArthur Foundation genius award recipient.
