Why do some people prefer to be with healthier-looking people? Why are some people more conservative than others? Why does the prevalence of violence vary across the world? Why are some countries poor while others are increasingly wealthy? Why are some countries mired in corruption? Randy Thornhill and Corey L. Fincher argue that the answers to these questions, and many more about the human condition, come down to understanding how infectious diseases have shaped human behavior and psychology. Paramount to this view is that other human beings are often the harbinger of infectious diseases, which has profound implications for the evolution of human sociality. In The Parasite-Stress Theory of Values and Sociality: Infectious Disease, History and Human Values Worldwide, the authors bring a wealth of evidence from across many scholarly fields, much of which has been produced in the last decade, to support this claim. Read this book to learn how infectious diseases have shaped human emotions, morality, political and cultural values, personality, family ties, mate preferences and sexuality, religiosity, intergroup psychology, governmental systems, trade, war, economic development, intelligence and innovation, and biodiversity, and more.

Fincher is an Assistant Professor in Psychology at the University of Warwick. 606 $aEvolutionary biology 606 $aBehavioral sciences 606 $aPersonality 606 $aSocial psychology 606 $aAnimal ecology 606 $aBiological psychology 606 $aEvolutionary Biology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L21001 606 $aBehavioral Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L13009 606 $aPersonality and Social Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20050 606 $aAnimal Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19015 606 $aBiological Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20020 615 0$aEvolutionary biology. 615 0$aBehavioral sciences. 615 0$aPersonality. 615 0$aSocial psychology. 615 0$aAnimal ecology. 615 0$aBiological psychology. 615 14$aEvolutionary Biology. 615 24$aBehavioral Sciences. 615 24$aPersonality and Social Psychology. 615 24$aAnimal Ecology. 615 24$aBiological Psychology. 676 $a155.2 676 $a155.7 676 $a302 676 $a570 700 $aThornhill$b Randy$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$085561 702 $aFincher$b Corey L$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298351503321 996 $aThe Parasite-Stress Theory of Values and Sociality$92536221 997 $aUNINA
