The Ape that Understood the Universe

How the Mind and Culture Evolve

Steve Stewart-Williams

This book delves into the evolutionary and cultural underpinnings of human behavior, exploring topics such as sex differences, romantic relationships, parental love, altruism, religion, and language. The author draws on evolutionary psychology and cultural evolutionary theory to unravel how humans evolved to pass on their genes and developed the capacity for culture. Providing an accessible introduction to the behavioral sciences, this book is a page-turner that is both intellectually exhilarating and beautifully crafted. It's a must-read for anyone who wants to understand human nature and the world we live in.
