ABOUT THE BOOK "LOVE AND OTHER ESSAYS ON OUR ANIMAL LIFE" BY ROBERT SAPOLSKY
What is the" genetic war between men and women "and does the"mind gene" really exist? Why and how does social status affect our health? Is revenge biologically programmed? Robert Sapolsky, a neuroscientist and primatologist with a great sense of humor, shows that there is much more animal behavior in our behavior than we want to admit.

Love is a collection of brilliant essays where complex topics such as genes, hormones, stress, and sexuality are transformed into accessible and engaging stories. The author explores how genes and the environment interact and why we are not hostages of our DNA.

Here you will meet the mouse Dougie, who had a "brilliant" memory, look into the eyes of baboons Jonathan and Rebezzi and look at yourself through the prism of biology. If you want to understand people better, laugh and be a little surprised — this book is just for you.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Robert Sapolsky is an American neuroendocrinologist, professor of biology, neuroscience, and neurosurgery at Stanford, and a research associate at the National Museums of Kenya. In 2008, he received the Carl Sagan Prize for popularizing science. Published in the New York Times, Wired, and Stanford University Journal. Author of a number of books, in particular "why zebras do not suffer from ulcers", "Biology of behavior. The causes of good and bad in US", "are predetermined. Life without free will."

BOOK REVIEWS:

A combination of Oliver Sacks and David Foster Wallace... Sapolsky is the professor whose courses students had a lot of fun and were inspired to become scientists. Los Angeles Times

Sapolsky allows his obsessive curiosity to wander amiably, with cheerful zeal in search of answers to riddles. New York Times Book Review

QUOTES FROM THE PUBLICATION:

So, on the one hand, there is our nature: neurons, brain chemicals, hormones, and, of course, at the very bottom of the whole mess — genes. On the other hand, what cherishes us: all the winds of the environment that blow in our face and back. Everyone in our industry is well aware that there is no point in contrasting nature and the environment, we should only talk about their interaction. But for some reason, this cliche will not take root in any way. Someone is always trying to push out: as soon as a new gene comes on the scene and supposedly "issues orders", "determines" behavior, the influence of the environment is immediately declared insignificant, pushed out.

The connection between the body and the brain, the mutual ability to regulate each other — now this is one of the central themes of biology. Now there are almost no fierce dualists left who believe that the human mind freely hovers over all the biological cogs and nuts of the body's cells, organelles and molecules. We are the product of all these cells, and our brains are also a biological organ no worse than, say, the bladder, and the cool turbo — charged neurons from the cerebral cortex have much more in common with each other than different ones. The brain is just an organ, even if it is solid, and its functioning cannot be imagined outside the body. As neuroscientist Antonio Damasio put it,"the mind lives in the body as it does in the brain."
