From Primates to Politicians

I really liked reading this book, as it shows scientific evidence on how observing the life in society of primates, one can extrapolate and predict human behavior in social, power and political situations. I really enjoyed the chapter, where the author describes how the brain of a republican and a democrat works based on observing the behavior of another type of society existing on the planet.

With this book, Juan Manuel Muñoz explores a vitally important dynamic of society. Munoz reminds us that humans are primates, biological organisms whose physiology and behavior patterns are shaped by evolution and the need to survive in a biological world. As such, we are wired to respond to hierarchy and power dynamics in relationships with others of our species – our relationships determine our ability to access the resources we need to survive. Politicians, like other primates, use their power in overt and subtle ways.

A very entertaining book that will take you into the world of science and the interaction of the natural sciences with the political science, although trying to explain the often-aberrant social phenomena of human behavior that may have an explanation in the natural sciences. It is also in its English version. Wishing him successes and waiting for the publication of his second book. Highly recommended.
