In The WEIRDest People in the World, Joseph Henrich draws on cutting-edge research in anthropology, psychology, economics, and evolutionary biology to explore these questions and more. He illuminates the origins and evolution of family structures, marriage, and religion, and the profound impact these cultural transformations had on human psychology. Mapping these shifts through ancient history and late antiquity, Henrich reveals that the most fundamental institutions of kinship and marriage changed dramatically under pressure from the Roman Catholic Church.

Necessary to understand the modern world
Revisado: 06-10-21
The reduction of kin-based cultural norms and its consequences is the key ingredient I needed to further understand how the modern world appeared. Many other ideas have been present as a root cause; however, none ever felt sufficient, on its own, to explain the break from tradition that lead to our now several centuries of rapid progress.
The WEIRDest People in the World by Joseph Henrich is the best, and most important, book that I have encountered in 10 years.
