Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst

Methodology and Conclusions

«Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst» by Robert Sapolsky is a comprehensive study that combines neurobiology, genetics, psychology, and social science to explain human behavior. Sapolsky analyzes how a person's past influences their present actions, which biological mechanisms are involved in decision-making, and how social environment and culture contribute to behavior formation. The author breaks down the decision-making process into several levels—from the immediate effects of hormones and neurotransmitters to historical and cultural contexts—demonstrating how these aspects interact. Robert Sapolsky concludes that human behavior is incredibly complex and requires a holistic approach, integrating knowledge from various scientific fields to understand it.
