Werner Siefer
We
And What Makes Us Human
For a long time, human beings were viewed as egotistical individuals. Yet the latest research in many fields of science paints a different picture. Life within the group was the decisive factor in our evolution as human beings. Humans developed intelligence because they had to grapple with their environment. For the first time, Werner Siefer has compiled all of the current theories supporting the view that humans are social beings and full of empathy for others. He interweaves insights from biology, neuro-science, psychology, sociology, and philosophy to form a new, grand view of the human being.
