Sex, Power and Partisanship by Hector A. Garcia (audiobook)

Hi! Can evolutionary psychology explain political differences? Are we at the mercy of certain cognitive biases that result in disastrous political decisions as a result of evolution? Find out by reading this book.

Important points:
-The audiobook is available for free on Spotify (Premium)
-If you cannot access the audiobook, you can access a C-SPAN video where the author discusses their ideas for about an hour. It will give you enough material to discuss at our meeting.
Here's the link: https://www.c-span.org/video/?458812-3/sex-power-partisanship
-I can provide a summary of the authors main ideas at the meetup for those who have not read the book.
-We are meeting at Resto Vego on St-Denis at 6:00 pm. I will be downstairs in the corner to your right. The table says "reserved" and there is a green frog stuffed animal holding a heart (kind of hard to miss!)

Here is the summary from Amazon:
An evolutionary psychologist traces the roots of political divisions back to our primate ancestors and male-dominated social hierarchies.Through the lens of evolutionary science, this book offers a novel perspective on why we hold our political ideas, and why they are so often in conflict. Drawing on examples from across the animal kingdom, clinical psychologist Hector A. Garcia reveals how even the most complex political processes can be influenced by our basic drives to survive and reproduce--including the policies we back, whether we are liberal or conservative, and whether we are inspired or repelled by the words of a president. The author demonstrates how our political orientations derive from an ancestral history of violent male competition, surprisingly influencing how we respond to issues as wide-ranging as affirmative action, women's rights, social welfare, abortion, foreign policy, and even global warming. Critically, the author shows us how our instinctive political tribalism can keep us from achieving stable, functioning societies, and offers solutions for rising above our ancestral past.
