SURVIVAL OF THE FRIENDLIEST Understanding Our Origins and Rediscovering Our Common Humanity

Narrator Rene Ruiz's warm style welcomes listeners to this well-researched reconsideration of key evolutionary principles relating to human connection. He explains foundational concepts, such as survival of the fittest, in a smooth, easygoing manner that informs as it entertains. His precise pace makes the complex explanations of evolutionary theory more comprehensible. Ruiz even brings out the humor in chapters that explain dog behavior. Listeners will lose themselves in this armchair-lecture experience, and many may be surprised how much detail they retain after the production has ended.
