Description
The Paradoxical Primate by Colin Talbot explores human nature from an evolutionary perspective, drawing on social sciences and paradoxical systems theory to challenge conventional understanding. This new framework seeks to explain how humans can exhibit both adaptability and inherited behavioural instincts. Talbot reverses the traditional assumption that physical sciences should inform human sciences, instead applying insights from fields like evolutionary psychology, ethology, and behavioural genetics to politics, economic, and public policy approaches. By integrating these disciplines, the author offers a fresh perspective on some of the most innovative developments in the social sciences. This book provides a thought-provoking analysis of human nature, encouraging readers to consider new ways of understanding and addressing complex issues.
