- Book Synopsis
- For scientists studying evolution, the past decade has seen many astonishing advances across various disciplines, from genetics and behaviour to psychology. Bringing together the many threads that provide an understanding of what makes us human, the author looks in particular at how the human mind has evolved.
- About The Author
- Robin Dunbar is currently Professor of Evolutionary Anthropology at Oxford University and a Fellow of Magdalen College. His principal research interest is the evolution of sociality. He was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 1998. His books include The Trouble with Science, 'an eloquent riposte to the anti-science lobby' (Sunday Times), and Grooming, Gossip and the Evolution of Language. The Human Story was described as 'fizzing with recent research and new theories' in the Sunday Times and 'punchy and provocative' by the New Scientist. How Many Friends Does One Person Need?: Dunbar's Number and Other Evolutionary Quirks was published in 2010.
