Why do humans behave the way we do? To answer this age-old question, Stanford University biologist Robert Sapolsky spent ten years connecting the dots between a wide range of scientific disciplines. The result is his new book "Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst," which probes into the deepest mysteries of human behavior, from xenophobia and tribalism to morality and justice.

Guests:

Dr. Robert Sapolsky , professor of biology and neurology, Stanford University; author, "Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst"
