  • More about Our Political Nature: The Evolutionary Origins of What Divides Us

Our Political Nature explores the ideological clashes that divide and imperil our world, showing how political orientations arise from three clusters of personality traits. These traits are the most powerful cause of left-right voting, influence mate choice, and shape society's reproductive patterns.

Publisher: Prometheus Books



Our Political Nature delves into the profound ideological divisions that threaten the very fabric of our world today. By seamlessly merging rigorous research with relevant contemporary examples, this insightful book sheds light on the underlying factors that fuel these clashes. It reveals how political orientations emerge from a combination of three measurable personality traits, each characterized by opposing attitudes toward tribalism, inequality, and differing perceptions of human nature. These traits, collectively, hold immense power, influencing not only our voting preferences but also shaping our choices in mates and contributing to the broader reproductive patterns of society.

In paperback format, with a foreword by renowned author Sebastian Junger, known for his book Tribe, and a new epilogue penned by the author, this groundbreaking work offers an evolutionary perspective on these crucial personality traits. Drawing upon dozens of exciting new insights from primatology, genetics, neuroscience, and anthropology, it brings core concepts to life through captivating news stories and the personalities that exemplify them.

By exploring the interplay between these traits and their historical origins, Our Political Nature provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex dynamics that shape our political landscape. It challenges our assumptions and encourages us to examine the underlying motivations that drive our political behavior. This book serves as a valuable tool for policymakers, educators, and individuals seeking to navigate the increasingly polarized world and foster greater understanding and unity.
