A Primate’s Memoir, Written by Robert Sapolsky

Primate memoirs by Robert Sapolski recorded the author's time in Kenya and he studied the various behaviors of the baboon group. An important aspect of the book is the social position formed in power. The social class of women is very simple and dry. The military's oldest elders are considered to be higher ranked women and as they become young they follow a chain of dominance. The ranking of men is basically the order of the strongest to the weakest.

Robert Sapolsky is a professor of biological science and neurology at Stanford University, a world leader in stress physiology and psychology. He is the author of "Why is not zebra allowed to ulcerate" and "Primates' memoirs: living not in the type of neuroscientist in the skull". I interviewed him in 2012. This is part of my MetaHack interview series. Robert Sapolsky: George Schaller is a high school gorilla year. Schaller was the first person working in the field with Gorilla (before Dian Fossey). Prior to that, I had a vague sense of wanting to be a primate (enough to read this book), but that book solidified it.

Robert M. Sapolsky is the author of non-fiction works, including primate memoirs, testicular troubles, and why zebra does not become an ulcer. He is a professor of biology and neurology at Stanford University and has received the MacArthur Foundation's genius scholarship. He lives in San Francisco with his wife, two children and a dog.

I wrote several blogs about what I learned from Robert Sapolski. He was a behavioral biologist at Stanford University and lived in primate species for decades. This enhances understanding of human behavior and what he calls "different barrels". Neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, genetics, anthropology, sociology, endocrinology and so on. In his lecture and in his new book, Behave, he describes the pros and cons of different inference methods within each bucket. Sapolsky explained in detail the incompatibilities of certain prerequisites in various fields. He also talked about and wrote about how to combine accurate knowledge points and explain behavior in an easy-to-understand way. Below is a link to my previous blog about his work, entitled "Is the man actually better than a woman?" And both sexes are not germs.
