Love-Shaped and Other Essays About Our Lives as Animals is a thoughtful, witty, and insightful collection of 18 essays by Robert Sapolsky that explores how biology shapes the behaviors, emotions, and social dynamics of humans. In accessible prose, Sapolsky delves into topics such as the “genetic war” between sexes, the biological underpinnings of attraction, the impact of stress on the brain, how social status influences health, and whether revenge is wired. The essays show how genes, environment, culture, and evolution interplay to influence who we are — with humor, depth, and surprising revelations. The Ukrainian edition is 224 pages in hardcover.
