Our Tribal Future informs us about the human nature of forming groups and how this need influences our behavior. The word tribalism often brings about a bad connotation. However, tribalism is a successful survival mechanism that is part of human evolution. Samson explains our instinct to band together in tribes has brought humans together in remarkable ways. With a complicated subject, Samson has broken down this complex subject into simpler sections with plenty of examples. I was very intrigued by the guiding question of " How do we trust people who aren't family?" When we feel like we are in a group with a commonality, humans can accomplish amazing things, but what brings us together as a group can also make us feel differently about other groups and can lead to hatred of anyone perceived as an other or outsider. With this revelation, Samson also gives us the tools to look into ourselves to see our affiliations and how they are affecting our perceptions. I enjoyed the information on building your own tribe and the benefits of living in a tribe. This book was received for free in return for an honest review. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
"An astounding and inspiring look at the science behind tribalism, and how we can learn to harness it to improve the world around us. What do you think of when you hear the word "tribalism?" For many, it conjures images of bigotry, xenophobia, and sectarian violence. Others may envision their own tribe: family, friends, and the bonds of loyalty that keep them together. Tribalism is one of the most complex and ancient evolutionary forces; it gave us the capacity for cooperation and competition, and allowed us to navigate increasingly complex social landscapes. It is so powerful that it can predict our behavior even better than race, class, gender, or religion. But in our vast modern world, has this blessing become a curse? Our Tribal Future explores a central paradox of our species: how altruism, community, kindness, and genocide are all driven by the same core adaptation. Evolutionary anthropologist David R. Samson engages with cutting-edge science and philosophy, as well as his own field research with small-scale societies and wild chimpanzees, to explain the science, ethics, and history of tribalism in compelling and accessible terms. This bold and brilliant book reveals provocative truths about our nature. Readers will discover that tribalism cannot, and should not, be eliminated entirely--to do so would be to destroy what makes us human. But is it possible to channel the best of this instinct to enrich our lives while containing the worst of its dangers?"-- No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
