Survival of the Friendliest
Understanding Our Origins and Rediscovering Our Common Humanity
Brian Hare - 2020-07-14
Goodreads Rating
Discover a groundbreaking theory about the evolution of human nature in "Survival of the Friendliest." According to Brian Hare, professor of evolutionary anthropology at Duke University, our unique friendliness is the key to our success as a species, allowing us to coordinate and communicate with others to achieve cultural and technical marvels. But at what cost? Hare's research shows that our desire to protect our loved ones can also lead us to dehumanize outsiders. A compelling and eye-opening read that challenges us to expand our definition of who belongs in order to survive and thrive.
