Quotes by Agustín Fuentes (?)

“Scientific facts are few and far between, popular facts are commonplace and not usually facts at all.”
― Agustín Fuentes, Race, Monogamy, and Other Lies They Told You: Busting Myths about Human Nature

“The brain and all its networks develop, lay down connections, and alter pathways and flows of biochemical signals in constant exchange with our bodies, our senses, the social and physical landscapes we inhabit, and our own thoughts, perceptions, and experiences of all these things.11 This is the embodiment of culture.”
― Agustín Fuentes, Why We Believe: Evolution and the Human Way of Being

Among the most common and powerful of these are three that we are now in a position to discuss: one we generally call “religion,” another we term “economies,” and the final we call “love.” PART 3 Religion, Economies, Love, and Our Future”
