Time and time again managers have tried to eliminate hierarchies, politics and interorganizational rivalry - but to no avail. Why? Evolutionary psychology would say that they are working against human nature - emotional and behavioural "hardwiring" that is the legacy of our Stone Age ancestors. In this book, Nigel Nicholson explores many of evolutionary psychology's central tenets and its implications for business management. The insights that this science provides into human instinct should prove illuminating to anyone seeking to understand why people act the way they do in organizational settings.
