The secret of our success. Henrik D.

The question is, why Homo sapiens is so unique and what the mystery of its incomprehensible evolutionary success is being studied constantly and, probably, will not stop taking them until the end of time.

on exciting examples, with the involvement of a huge array of scientific data from a variety of disciplines studying a person, Henrich builds an expanded and enriched picture of our evolutionary path. And unexpectedly for ourselves, we find many answers to the questions that always torment us: “Why do people behave like this and not otherwise in certain situations?
