Produktbeschreibung
From Primates to Politicians is a fascinating exploration of politicians and their atavistic origins, traced back to the animal side of the human species. Based on our evolution, the book explains the reason for many human behaviors and the often-deadly scramble for the resources we perceive as necessary for survival. Juan Manuel Muñoz explores the bowels of politics-a profession understood and dominated by economic power elites and the expert manipulators of political marketing, who assemble the mercurial puzzle of infinite distortions to which we have become habituated. The content is divided into three parts; in the first, the author reviews the concepts of primatology, evolution, and the power relations between living beings; in the second, the evolution of human societies and the foundations of conservatism and liberalism, are unpacked, which leads him to propose his "evolutionary theory of politics". The book closes with the analysis of multiple current events and raises some predictions about the global political environment.
Autorenporträt
Juan Manuel Muñoz, born in Panama City, is a physician, political scientist, futurist, business administrator, musician, and social activist in the areas of human rights, pacifism, and a movement toward a sustainable environment. He began his participation as social activist during his medical studies at the University of Panama, which led him to sit on the executive board of the International Federation of Medical Students Associations (IFMSA). The current political uncertainty, along with fast-paced political changes, led Muñoz to publish multiple opinion articles in local newspapers, and finally to publish his first book, From Primates to Politicians.
