Description
"For scientists studying evolution, the past decade has seen astonishing advances across many disciplines, from genetics to behaviour to psychology. Discoveries which have so revolutionised scientific thinking that our basic understanding of who we are has been turned upside-down." "The Human Story brings together many threads in a manner that is both fascinating and accessible. Robin Dunbar looks at how the human mind has evolved, and draws on his own research to explore the deep psychological and biological origins of society. Is all this new science really telling us that music - and, more importantly, religion - lie at the very heart of what made us human?"--Jacket.
