I thoroughly enjoyed neurologist and primatologist Robert Sapolsky’s 2017 book entitled Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst. I’m not new to Sapolsky’s work.

In the past four months or so, I have read five books that seem to circle the same debate: humanism versus post-humanism or post-liberalism.
