Produktbeskrivning
‘Insightful and breathtaking.’ Yuval Noah Harari, author of Sapiens
‘Bold and sweeping.’ Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads
‘Profoundly thought-provoking.’ Kate Raworth, author of Doughnut Economics
How our evolved psychology has shaped the past, present and future of humanity.
Each of us is endowed with an inheritanceA set of ancient biases, forged through countless millennia of natural and cultural selection, which shape every facet of our behaviour.
For generations, this inheritance has taken us to ever greater heights, driving the rise of more sophisticated technologies, more organized religions, more expansive empiresBut now, for the first time, it is failing us. We find ourselves careering towards a future of unprecedented political polarization, deadlier wars, and environmental destruction.
In Inheritance, renowned anthropologist Harvey Whitehouse offers a sweeping account of how our evolved biases have shaped humanity’s past and imperil its futureUnveiling a pioneering new way of viewing our collective history – one that weaves together psychological experiments, on-the-ground fieldwork, and big data – Whitehouse introduces three biases that shape human behaviour everywhere: conformism, religiosity, and tribalism.
These biases have catalysed the greatest transformations in human history, from the birth of agriculture and arrival of the first kings to the rise and fall of human sacrifice and creation of multiethnic empiresYet today, they are driving us to ruin. Taking us deep into New Guinea tribes, Libyan militias, and predatory ad agencies, Whitehouse shows how the tools we once used to manage our biases are breaking down, with devastating implications for us all.
By uncovering how human nature has shaped our collective history, Inheritance reveals a surprising new path to solving our most urgent problemsThe result is a powerful reappraisal of the human journey; one that transforms our understanding of who we are, and who we could be.

‘A profoundly important book, of breathtaking scope . . . Full of deep insights into human nature, this is a work of compelling conviction by a master in the field.’ Lewis Dartnell, author of Origins
‘If you spend a lot of time thinking the world seems to have gone mad, bad and dangerous, this thoughtful and thought-provoking book won''t just help you work out why that might be – it will also help you see a better path forward.’ Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Channel 4 News presenter
‘A very powerful, provocative and inspiring analysis of the human condition . . Compelling and highly readable, this book shows why anthropology matters.’ Gillian Tett, Financial Times columnist and Provost of King''s College, Cambridge
‘Remarkably readable . . . A powerful argument that the behaviour change we need is more likely to occur if we make use of our evolved human nature, rather than seek to transcend it.’ Peter Singer, author of Animal Liberation
