Review # 1 was written on 2020-06-19 00:00:00 David Umbenhower Covering the social fields of criminal justice, medicine, education, this book has the potential to compelling a wider audience on especially if they are not been exposed systematically to the research areas of biases and heuristics. Really rather compelling literature on biases and heuristics composed over the 70's to 90's. The principles still apply today, however, research of this type has dwindled over recent decades. I wonder why... perhaps it has to do with people seeing that there are deeper concerns raised by our demonstrable biases and heuristics. Ala (1 Corinthians 2:10-12). I'll continue to research into this for research purposes only.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-12-03 00:00:00 Ray Acuna Allman considers puzzling human behaviors and habits in light of anthropological research on human evolution. People who think a person is a blank slate with behaviors completely controlled by society and environment won't like this book, but I think behavior is dictated by some of both biology and environment, and so I found this book quite intriguing. A similar (longer) book has been written by Paul Ehrlich called Human Natures, that I haven't read yet.
