New York Times bestseller • Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize • One of the Washington Post's 10 Best Books of the Year “It’s no exaggeration to say that Behave is one of the best nonfiction books I’ve ever read.” —David P. Barash, The Wall Street Journal "It has my vote for science book of the year.” —Parul Sehgal, The New York Times "Immensely readable, often hilarious...Hands-down one of the best books I’ve read in years. I loved it." —Dina Temple-Raston, The Washington Post From the bestselling author of A Primate's Memoir and the forthcoming Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will comes a landmark, genre-defining examination of human behavior and an answer to the question: Why do we do the things we do?

Moving across a range of disciplines, Sapolsky—a neuroscientist and primatologist—uncovers the hidden story of our actions. Undertaking some of our thorniest questions relating to tribalism and xenophobia, hierarchy and competition, and war and peace, Behave is a towering achievement—a majestic synthesis of cutting-edge research and a heroic exploration of why we ultimately do the things we do . . . for good and for ill.

This is about the football-playing members of the two schools who, although playing in the same game, turned out entirely different from each other and from the supposed mission of high school sports. The coaches of the two squads were severe, but one of the coaches of the losers found some humor in this grab bag of players he had inherited. The book traces the happenings on the gridiron of a small school football team that cannot win a game. Their winless situation is created by lack of size, leadership, and talent. There is a rough side to the treatment parceled out by the two coaches methods, and at least in one case, there is some humor involved. The quarterback of the losing team was the books author, who had an insiders look at the game as his dad was the teams former coach. The author spices up the story by exploring sensitive topics, including interracial dating, teen smoking and drinking, and premarital sex, not to mention the woman beating, which led to a campus murder.
