Description
The social leap : the new evolutionary science of who we are, where we come from, and what makes us happy by William von Hippel is a pioneering and informative exploration that uses evolution science to provide a new perspective on human psychology and reveals how the great challenges of our past are some of the most fundamental aspects. Existence has now shaped us.
The most basic aspects of human life, from leadership and innovation to aggression and happiness, were forever changed by the “social leap” of our ancestors from the rainforest to the plains. Their struggle for survival in the open grasslands required a shift from individualism to a new form of collectivism that forever changed the way we think. This event changed the way man fought and made him inclined to seek peace; He also changed the ways of leading and following human beings and turned him from an innovator to an innovator. Thus, with the “social leap”, a new kind of social intelligence was formed that created new sources of life satisfaction.
In The Social Leap, William von Hippel proposes a revolutionary theory in which he traces the evolution of man in three vital points of evolution, and speaks of the influence of events in the distant past on the formation of present life. Zind. “Social Leap” is a work that goes from discussing everyday issues such as why we exaggerate to surprising issues such as why we believe our own lies to why wealth and fame can create as much happiness as misery. Encompasses. Social Leap is a book with wide and extraordinary references that will surprise readers.

Leading psychologist William Von combines hypoplanetics and biology with history and psychology with evolution, and traces our evolutionary history step by step to show how events in our distant past still shape our lives today. The impact of these factors is far-reaching and dramatic: from ordinary everyday issues such as the tendency to exaggerate and exaggerate to strange issues such as why we believe our own lies.
How the six million years of human evolution have shaped our lives today – from work and relationships to leadership and innovation and, most importantly, our quest for happiness.
Social Leap tries to express some new scientific findings about the formation of human biological and psychological characteristics in simple language and while presenting an interesting narrative of the history of human species biological evolution, explains how and why some psychological characteristics are formed in human beings. The central idea of the book is The Hypothesis of the Social Brain, which states: The size of the human brain is to face the complex challenges that living in a social environment and interacting with other people poses. The superiority of man over other animals, especially primates, is his amazing ability to interact with his fellow humans and society, and not, for example, his remarkable ability to innovate technically and work with objects.

Our mental characteristics are full of contradictions: we work hard to achieve our goals, but when we succeed, our happiness is very fleeting compared to our efforts. We wish our friends success in life, but if the time is right, we can not stop our jealousy. We were terrified of killing our acquaintances, even those we hated, but we did not stop when our own armed forces killed enemies who were strangers to us. We often lose to strict bosses, but if we are in that position, we behave like them.
These contradictions may seem absurd, but they have each arisen in the process of evolution in order to fulfill a vital function in our lives. Indeed, the most fundamental aspects of our psychological characteristics are shaped by our ancestors’ “social leap” from rainforests to grasslands. Our ancestors, in an effort to survive in the vast expanse of grassland, considered teamwork and socialization more important than physical strength, and created a whole new kind of intelligence that changed our place on the planet forever.
The social leap seeks to articulate some new scientific findings about the formation of human biological and psychological characteristics in simple language, and while presenting an intriguing account of the history of human species biological evolution, explains how and why some psychological characteristics are formed in humans. The central idea of the book is The Hypothesis of the Social Brain, which states: The size of the human brain is to face the complex challenges that living in a social environment and interacting with other people poses. The superiority of man over other animals, especially primates, is his amazing ability to interact with his fellow humans and society, and not, for example, his remarkable ability to innovate technically and work with objects.
The social leap obtains answers from the heart of his questions and connects them to new questions. Answers to questions, and questions to answers.
