The Social Instinct: How Cooperation Shaped the World by Nichola Raihani, Nichola Raihani

5.0

This was one of my anticipated books of 2021 and it did not disappoint! Nichola masterfully details how cooperation has evolved within humans and out to families and fellow humans around the world. The most powerful aspect of her argument are the examples of cooperation not just in humans but in many other animals in the animal kingdom. The behavioral ecology along with the evolutionary psychology themes interlaced within this cohesive narrative make this book one of the most important books to read!
