A Psychologist Investigates How Evolution, Cognition, and Complexity Are Revolutionizing Our View of Human Nature

Why do we do what we do? Especially those seemingly inexplicable behaviors—from the disreputable to the downright despicable?

Between what can be learned from evolutionary psychology (thinking that has developed in our species over the millennia to ensure its propagation) and cognitive science (how our minds literally think) a picture emerges. In Sex, Murder, and the Meaning of Life, social psychologist Douglas Kenrick fuses these two fields to create a coherent story of human nature.

In his analysis, many ingrained, apparently irrational behaviors—one-night stands, prejudice, conspicuous consumption, even art and religious devotion—are quite explicable and (when desired) avoidable. When combined with insights from complexity theory, Kenrick’s argument reveals how simple mechanisms give rise to complex life.

Through an engaging blend of anecdote, analogy, and research findings, Sex, Murder, and the Meaning of Life takes listeners on a singular tour of the human mind, exploring the pitfalls and promises of our biological inheritance.


心理学家探究进化、认知和复杂性如何重塑我们对人性的看法 为什么我们会做我们所做的?尤其是那些看似无法解释的行为——从不端到卑劣? 在进化心理学(我们的物种历经千年发展出的旨在延续自身生存的方法)和认知科学(关于我们大脑实际思考方式的认识)之间,形成了一幅画面。在《性、谋杀与生命的意义》一书中,社会心理学家道格拉斯·肯rick将这两者结合起来,创造了一个人类本性的连贯故事。 在他的分析中,许多根深蒂固的似乎不合理的行为——一夜情、偏见、显眼消费甚至艺术和宗教虔诚——都是完全可以解释的,并且(当需要时)是可以避免的。结合复杂性理论的见解后,肯尼克的观点揭示了简单机制如何产生出复杂的生命。 通过引人入胜的故事、类比和研究发现的混合体,《性、谋杀与生命的意义》带领听众踏上对人类心灵的独有之旅,探索我们的生物遗赠既面临的陷阱又带来的希望。
