Description

Of the dozen or so hominid species once in existence, why are we the only one to have survived? What is it that sets us so firmly apart from all the other creatures with whom we share the planet? How and when did that separation come about? The past decade has seen astonishing advances across many disciplines, from genetics to behavior to psychology. Discoveries which have so revolutionized scientific thinking that our basic understanding of who we are has been turned upside-down. This book brings together these many threads in a manner that is both fascinating and accessible. Dunbar looks at how the human mind has evolved, and draws on his own research to explore the deep psychological and biological origins of society. Illustrations.
