Our Political Nature: The Evolutionary Origins of What Divides

Our Political Nature: The Evolutionary Origins of What Divides Us

The first book to tell the natural history of political orientations.Â
Â
Â Â Â Â Â Our Political NatureÂ is the first book to reveal the hidden roots of our most deeply held moral values. It shows how political orientations across space and time arise from three clusters of measurable personality traits. These clusters entail opposing attitudes toward tribalism, inequality, and differing perceptions of human nature. Together, these traits are by far the most powerful cause of left-right voting, even leading people to regularly vote against their economic interests.Â

Â Â Â Â Â As this book explains, our political personalities also influence our likely choice of a mate, and shape society's larger reproductive patterns. Most importantly of all, it tells the evolutionary stories of these crucial personality traits, which stem from epic biological conflicts.

Â Â Â Â Â Based on dozens of exciting new insights from primatology, genetics, neuroscience, and anthropology, this groundbreaking work brings core concepts to life through current news stories and personalities. For instance, readers will meet Glenn Beck and Hugo Chavez and come to understand the underlying evolutionary forces they represent. By blending serious research with relevant contemporary examples,Â Our Political NatureÂ casts important light onto the ideological clashes that so dangerously divide and imperil our world today.
