Description


Why do we do what we do? 'Behave' brings together a whole host of sciences - the study of our brains, genes and hormones, the investigations of psychology, anthropology and evolutionary history. The book shows that any explanation of why we behave the way we do is incomplete until we consider all of these factors together.
