WINNER OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY INSIGHT INVESTMENT SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE
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.
