Description: Inheritance by Harvey Whitehouse Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Insightful and breathtaking . . . Explains some of our species greatest successes and failures. Yuval Noah Harari, author of SapiensHow our evolved psychology has shaped the past, present and future of humanity.Each of us is endowed with an inheritance. A set of ancient biases, forged through countless millennia of natural and cultural selection, which shape every facet of our behaviour. For generations, this inheritance has taken us to ever greater heights. But now, for the first time, it is failing us - with devastating implications for humanity.In Inheritance, renowned anthropologist Harvey Whitehouse offers a sweeping account of how our evolved biases have shaped humanitys past and imperil its future. Unveiling a pioneering new way of viewing our collective history - one that weaves together psychological experiments, on-the-ground fieldwork, and big data - Whitehouse introduces three biases that shape human behaviour everywhere- conformism, religiosity, and tribalism.These biases have catalysed the greatest transformations in human history, from the birth of agriculture, to the rise and fall of human sacrifice, to the creation of the first multiethnic empires. Yet today, they are driving us to ruin. Taking us deep into New Guinea tribes, Libyan militias, and predatory ad agencies, Whitehouse shows how the tools we once used to manage our biases are breaking down, with disastrous consequences for us all.By uncovering how human nature has shaped our collective history, Inheritance reveals a surprising new path to solving our most urgent problems. The result is a powerful reappraisal of the human journey; one that transforms our understanding of who we are, and who we could be.
