Pasquale De Marco

Bound by Instinct

What is it that makes us human? Is it our intelligence? Our compassion? Our creativity? Or is it something else entirely?
In **Bound by Instinct**, Pasquale De Marco takes us on a journey to the heart of human nature, exploring the biological and evolutionary roots of our behavior. Drawing on the latest research in neuroscience, psychology, and anthropology, Pasquale De Marco reveals the deep and enduring ways in which our animal heritage continues to shape our thoughts, feelings, and actions.
From our basic instincts for survival and reproduction to our complex emotions and social interactions, we are all bound by our evolutionary past. Pasquale De Marco shows how our instincts can lead us to both good and bad outcomes, and how our understanding of human nature can help us to make better choices for ourselves and for our societies.
But Pasquale De Marco also argues that we are not simply prisoners of our instincts. We are also capable of great compassion, empathy, and cooperation. We are capable of rising above our animal nature and creating a better world for ourselves and for future generations.
**Bound by Instinct** is a groundbreaking work that will change the way we think about ourselves and our place in the universe. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the human condition.
