Sapolsky’s Theory of Evolutionary Psychology

Human behavioral biology explains how our actions are shaped by brain activity, hormones, environment, and evolution. This video explores Robert Sapolsky’s theory, showing how behavior is influenced by factors ranging from neural processes and childhood experiences to genetics and cultural history. By combining neuroscience and psychology, it highlights why simple explanations of human behavior are often incomplete. Understanding these complex interactions helps us think more critically about judgment, decision-making, and the biological roots of human actions.
