Evolution is a series of bets, and no animal gambles the way humans do.
This has led us to unprecedented ecological dominance, via the steepest
odds and unlikeliest of outcomes, but our winning streak cuts both
ways: the secret to our success may yet be our downfall.
The Gambling Animal offers a revelatory retelling of the human story.
Drawing on their unique research into the risk psychology of humans and
other animals - including our most impressive rivals, elephants - Don
Ross and Glenn Harrison reveal the hidden logic of our rise.
Even before the dawn of civilisation, we bet the Earth on our ability
to keep doubling down. But with an ecological crisis on the horizon,
how long will our winning streak continue?
