Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst

Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst is a book by Stanford University professor of biology and neurology, Robert M. Sapolsky that looks at the biology of human behavior. It considers investigations in psychology, anthropology and evolutionary history to explain human behavior in an evolutionary context. The book is scheduled for release in Hardback and ebook formats in May 2017.
Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst explains the body's reactions to sight, sound and smell, the subsequent reactions of the brain and the nervous system, interactions of hormones, and the influences of genetic inheritance, cultural context and evolution to consider questions such as:
* what causes acts of aggression or compassion?
* what inspires us to terrible deeds and what might help foster our best behavior?
