Harvey Whitehouse, a renowned anthropologist, explains in his book "Legacy" how our evolutionarily justified tendencies have shaped the past of humanity and today threaten its future. Using a novel approach to studying our shared history, combining psychological experiments, field research, and analysis of large datasets, he describes three mechanisms that shape the behavior of people around the world: conformity, religiosity, and tribalism.

The book takes the reader to tribal homes deep in the rainforest of Papua New Guinea, the barracks of Libyan fighters, or the offices of predatory advertising agencies, showing how the tools that have allowed us to manage our tendencies for centuries are failing, and how catastrophic the consequences will be for us all. Whitehouse proposes a completely new, intriguing way to solve our most pressing problems.
