YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRobin Hanson is associate professor of economics at George Mason University, author, and research associate at the Future of Humanity Institute of Oxford University.
Our decisions may feel like our own choice, but how much do our primitive brains play a part in determining the hidden motives of our everyday actions? Quite a lot according to Professor Hanson.
This is a fantastic introduction to evolutionary psychology as we uncover the hidden motives behind gossip, laughter, charity, cheating, social norms, body language and an awful lot more.
