THE SOCIAL INSTINCT - NICHOLA RAIHANI KARTONIER...

Why cooperate? This may be the most important scientific question we have ever  and will ever 
face. The science of cooperation tells us not only how we got here  but also where we might end
up. Cooperation explains how strands of DNA gave rise to modern-day nation states. It defines
our extraordinary ecological success as well as many of the most surprising features of what
make us human: not only why we live in families  why we have grandmothers and why women
experience the menopause  but also why we become paranoid and jealous  and why we cheat.
Nichola Raihani also introduces us to other species who  like us  live and work together. From
the pied babblers of the Kalahari to the cleaner fish of the Great Barrier Reef  they happen to
be some of the most fascinating and extraordinarily successful species on this planet. What do
we have in common with these other species  and what is it that sets us apart? Written at a
time of global pandemic  when the challenges and importance of cooperation have never been
greater  The Social Instinct is an exhilarating  far-reaching and thought-provoking journey
through all life on Earth  with profound insights into what makes us human and how our
societies work.
