What is the secret to humanity's evolutionary success? Could it be our strength, our intellect. . . or something much nicer?
From the authors of New York Times bestseller The Genius of Dogs comes a powerful new idea about how 'friendliness' is the key factor in the flourishing of our species. Hare and Woods present an elegant new theory called self-domestication, looking at examples of co-operation and empathy and what this can tell us about the evolutionary success of Homo sapiens. . .
'Brilliant, eye-opening, and absolutely inspiring - and a riveting read. Hare and Woods have written the perfect book for our time.'
Cass Sunstein, author of How Change Happens and co-author of Nudge
