Recent neuroscience research

makes it clear that human biology is cultural biology - we develop and live our lives in socially constructed worlds that vary widely in their structure, values, and institutions.

Overview of the volume

This integrative volume brings together interdisciplinary perspectives from the human, social, and biological sciences to explore culture, mind, and brain interactions and their impact on personal and societal issues.

Contributors and content

Contributors provide a fresh look at emerging concepts, models, and applications of the co-constitution of culture, mind, and brain. Chapters survey the latest theoretical and methodological insights alongside the challenges in this area, and describe how these new ideas are being applied in the sciences, humanities, arts, mental health, and everyday life.

Reader benefits

Readers will gain a new appreciation of the ways in which our unique biology and cultural diversity shape behavior and experience, and our ongoing adaptation to a constantly changing world.
