VINCITORE DEL ROYAL SOCIETY INSIGHT INVESTMENT SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE 2020 Come proteine, apprendimento automatico e chimica molecolare possono insegnarci le complessità del comportamento umano e del mondo che ci circonda Come comprendiamo le persone che ci circondano? Come riconosciamo le motivazioni delle persone, il loro comportamento o persino le loro espressioni facciali? E quando apprendiamo i segnali sociali che dettano il comportamento umano? A cui è stato diagnosticato un disturbo dello spettro autistico all'età di otto anni, Camilla Pang ha lottato per comprendere il mondo che la circondava e il modo in cui le persone funzionavano. Alla disperata ricerca di una soluzione, Camilla ha chiesto a sua madre se esistesse un manuale di istruzioni per gli umani che potesse consultare. Ma, senza il modello di vita che sperava di avere, Camilla ha iniziato a crearne uno suo. Ora armata di un dottorato di ricerca in biochimica, Camilla smantella i nostri oscuri costumi sociali e identifica cosa significa veramente essere umani usando la sua competenza unica e un linguaggio che conosce meglio: la scienza. Attraverso una serie di principi scientifici, questo libro esamina le interazioni quotidiane della vita, tra cui: - Decisioni e il percorso che prendiamo per prenderle; - Conflitti e come possiamo evitarli; - Relazioni e come le stabiliamo; - Etichetta e come ci conformiamo ad essa. Explaining Humans è un'esplorazione originale e incisiva della natura umana e della stranezza delle norme sociali, scritta dall'esterno che guarda dentro. La prospettiva unica di Camilla sul mondo, a sua volta, ci dice molto su noi stessi, su chi siamo e perché lo facciamo, ed è una guida affascinante su come condurre una vita più connessa e felice.

Explaining Humans is an original and incisive exploration of human nature and the strangeness of social norms, written from the outside looking in. Camilla's unique perspective of the world, in turn, tells us so much about ourselves - about who we are and why we do it - and is a fascinating guide on how to lead a more connected, happier life.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. WINNER OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY INSIGHT INVESTMENT SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE, JULY 2020 How proteins, machine learning and molecular chemistry can teach us about the complexities of human behaviour and the world around us How do we understand the people around us? How do we recognise people's motivations, their behaviour, or even their facial expressions? And, when do we learn the social cues that dictate human behaviour? Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at the age of eight, Camilla Pang struggled to understand the world around her and the way people worked. Desperate for a solution, Camilla asked her mother if there was an instruction manual for humans that she could consult. But, without the blueprint to life she was hoping for, Camilla began to create her own. Now armed with a PhD in biochemistry, Camilla dismantles our obscure social customs and identifies what it really means to be human using her unique expertise and a language she knows best: science. Through a set of scientific principles, this book examines life's everyday interactions including: - Decisions and the route we take to make them; - Conflict and how we can avoid it; - Relationships and how we establish them; - Etiquette and how we conform to it. Explaining Humans is an original and incisive exploration of human nature and the strangeness of social norms, written from the outside looking in. Camilla's unique perspective of the world, in turn, tells us so much about ourselves - about who we are and why we do it - and is a fascinating guide on how to lead a more connected, happier life.
