Phenomenal book which basically explains human behavior through the lens of Darwinism - what actions give us the greatest probability of extending our genes to future generations.

@eriktorenberg @hunterwalk Watched "The Unbelievers" on netflix and have had this book on my list ever since. After having read "The Origin of Species" back in college (which I need to reread), it would be fascinating to examine human behavior through the same lens.
