About the Author
Robert M. Sapolsky is a renowned neuroendocrinologist, biologist, and author whose work bridges the worlds of science and storytelling. A professor of biology, neurology, and neurosurgery at Stanford University, he has spent decades studying stress, behavior, and the biology of aggression in wild baboons in East Africa. Drawing from his fieldwork experiences, Sapolsky crafts narratives that illuminate the complexities of human and animal nature with humor, insight, and scientific rigor. His writing demystifies neuroscience for general audiences, exploring how biology shapes our lives, societies, and moral dilemmas. Through lectures, books, and documentaries, he continues to challenge conventional wisdom on free will, empathy, and the human condition.
