Appreciated the prologue and understanding the book’s origins. On book one right now.

The basis of group evolution seems to be more mathematical rather than biological, it’s logical, considering that death has benefits for the environment and for our species survival, so why wouldn’t group evolution be a thing? I think it’s not, we evolved alongside other species, it’s a symbiotic relationship. Death is in our genes. But what evidence is there which we actually group evolved?

So far, the book offers a unique perspective on a biological matter from physicists and mathematicians. Group evolution is an interesting concept, the critics of this book mentions that the writers deny individual evolution, I hope not, but I’ve yet to have finished the book.

in a world where everyone is objectified and reduced to the gender stereotypes assigned to us from birth, this book actually gives me hope about living. We are human, humans are complex, neurodevelopmental biology is a thing, how we are depends on how we were raised, culture, etc. Hormones don’t exist as a fixed amount but rather naturally fluctuates, etc etc etc! I love this book

Putting aside my general expectation of how I like information to be presented, I actually really like this book so far. It’s obviously made for the layperson, but I’m a layperson in this field, so I heavily appreciate it. It actually aligns really well with my neuroscience of emotions textbook at certain points, so I know it’s legit.
