The Weirdest People In The World

By Jospeph Heinrich

Evolutionary psychologist examines what made western europeans psychologically able to create the modern world. Gives Western Christianity a central role (a similar argument to Tom Holland’s Dominion). Fascinating new idea for me was that cultures are subject to evolutionary pressures similar to genes. A really thought provoking book.
