商品簡介
By turns witty and erudite, and always thought-provoking and engaging, respected evolutionary psychologist and award-winning science columnist Jesse Bering takles the big questions of human existence and meaning head-on. Calling on cutting-edge scientific research, plus insights drawn from Darwin to Dawkins via Dostoevsky and de Beauvoir, Bering grapples with this apparently unique capacity of human beings to believe in (or even need to believe in) something bigger than themselves - thereby raising a fundamentally provocative question of his own: Can God, souls and the meaning of life be accounted for by the evolution of the human brain - a unique evolutionary journey that kept the worst excesses of 'anti-social' behaviour in check, and us one step ahead of the competition?
