What makes us social animals?
Why do we behave the way we do?
How does the brain influence our behaviour?
The brain may have initially evolved to cope with a threatening world of beasts,
limited food and adverse weather, but we now use it to navigate an equally
unpredictable social landscape. In The Domesticated Brain, renowned psychologist
Bruce Hood explores the relationship between the brain and social behaviour,
looking for clues as to origins and operations of the mechanisms that keep us
bound together. How do our brains enable us to live together, to raise children,
and to learn and pass on information and culture? Combining social psychology
with neuroscience, Hood provides an essential introduction to the hidden
operations of the brain, and explores what makes us who we are.
