brief_description
Evolutionary biologist Mark Pagel tracks 'culture' through the last 80,000 years of human evolution, revealing how an innate propensity to contribute and conform to the culture of our birth not only enabled human survival and progress in the past but also continues to influence our behavior today. And so shed light on our species’ defining attributes―from art, morality, and altruism to self-interest, deception, and prejudice. --blurb
