Join us for this event with Nichola Raihani who will be talking about her new book, The Social Instinct.
Exploring evolution, animal behaviour and human psychology, The Social Instinct reveals how and why cooperation has shaped and defined humankind - and what happens when it goes wrong. This is the first book by Professor Raihani, drawing on decades of research in the field. Written at a time of global pandemic, when the challenges and importance of cooperation have never been greater, The Social Instinct is a journey through all life on Earth, with insights into what makes us human and how our societies work.
You can order the book, , (UK delivery only) from our official 杏吧论坛 Events independent book shop, .
