Krátky popis
A cutting-edge exploration of the ancient roots of goodness in
civilization, arguing that our genes have shaped societies for our
welfare and that, in a feedback loop stretching back many thousands
of years, societies have shaped, and are still shaping, our genes
today. For too long, scientists have focused on the dark side of
our biological heritage: our capacity for aggression, cruelty,
prejudice, and self-interest. But natural selection has given us a
suite of beneficial social features, including our capacity for
love, friendship, cooperation, and learning.Beneath all our
inventions -- our tools, farms, machines, cities, nations -- we
carry with us innate proclivities to make a good society.In
Blueprint, Nicholas A. Christakis introduces the compelling idea
that our genes affect not only our bodies and behaviors, but also
the ways in which we make societies, ones that are surprisingly
similar worldwide.With many vivid examples -- including diverse
historical and contemporary cultures, communities formed in the
wake of shipwrecks, commune dwellers seeking utopia, online groups
thrown together by design or involving artificially intelligent
bots, and even the tender and complex social arrangements of
elephants and dolphins that so resemble our own -- Christakis shows
that, despite a human history replete with violence, we cannot
escape our social blueprint for goodness.In a world of increasing
political and economic polarization, it's tempting to ignore the
positive role of our evolutionary past. Drawing on advances in
social science, evolutionary biology, genetics, neuroscience, and
network science, Blueprintshows how and why evolution has placed us
on a humane path -- and how we are united by our common humanity.
