Junk Food Monkeys and Other Essays on the Biology of the Human Predicament by Robert M Sapolsky
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.
'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'Sapolsky covers a stimulating range of topics, including grave robbing, medicinal plants used by animals, voyeurism, male aggression and the connections between religious ritual and obsessive-compulsive behaviour. It is fascinating stuff.' Sunday Express
