Description
The Weirdest People in the World: How the West Became Psychologically Peculiar and Particularly Prosperous Joseph Henrich explores how the Western mind came to be shaped by its unique cultural and historical context. By examining the impact of changing family structures, marriage practices, and religious beliefs in the Middle Ages, Henrich reveals how these factors laid the foundations for the world we know today. This landmark study draws on leading-edge research in anthropology, psychology, economics, and evolutionary biology to shed new light on the evolution of human psychology on a global scale. The result is a thought-provoking and engaging exploration of the complex forces that have shaped human societies.
