The Biology Behind Our Best and Worst Behaviors

What makes us do the things we do? Why can humans build hospitals one day and wage war the next? The answer lies in a fascinating web of biological processes that unfold across different timescales-from milliseconds to millennia. Our behaviors emerge from an intricate dance between our brains, hormones, genes, and environments. Rather than simple cause-and-effect relationships, human behavior stems from complex interactions between multiple biological systems, each influencing the others in feedback loops that can either amplify or dampen our tendencies toward kindness or cruelty.
