Publisher's Synopsis

""The Cosmic Roots of Love and Self-Sacrifice"" by John Fiske is a thought-provoking exploration of the origins of human love and self-sacrifice. Fiske argues that these behaviors are not unique to humans, but rather are deeply rooted in the evolutionary history of life on Earth. Drawing on a wide range of scientific research, from biology and psychology to anthropology and philosophy, Fiske makes a compelling case that love and self-sacrifice are not simply products of culture or socialization, but rather are fundamental aspects of our biological makeup. He also explores the implications of this perspective for our understanding of morality, religion, and the human condition more broadly. This book is an insightful and engaging read for anyone interested in the origins of human behavior and the mysteries of the cosmos.THIS 80 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Through Nature to God, by John Fiske.
