The Gambling Animal: Humanity’s Evolutionary Winning Streak – and How We Risk It All

by Glenn W. Harrison (Author)

Best Psychology

Join economists Don Ross and Glenn Harrison for a profoundly unsettling account of human exceptionalism, and a revelatory retelling of the human story. Drawing on their own research into the risk psychology of humans and other animals – including our most impressive rivals, elephants – they reveal the hidden logic of our rise. Even before the dawn of civilisation, we bet the Earth on our ability to keep doubling down. It is time we finally understood the odds.
