About this book

Behave by Robert M Sapolsky is one of the most ambitious books on human behaviour written in recent years. Sapolsky, a Stanford neuroscientist and primatologist, walks the reader through a single act of behaviour from the millisecond before it happens through the evolutionary millennia that shaped it.

The book is long, dense, and entertaining. Sapolsky's conversational footnotes are part of the pleasure.

Spent over thirty years splitting his time between a Stanford laboratory and a troop of wild baboons in Kenya, measuring what social rank does to a primate's bloodstream. Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers explains why a stress response evolved for two minutes of sprinting is ruinous when it runs for thirty years of mortgage.
