This volume explores the burgeoning interdisciplinary research into the biological and neurological underpinnings of social behavior and organization. It synthesizes contributions from rapidly developing fields like biosociology and neurosociology, which integrate knowledge from biopsychology, neuropsychology, evolutionary psychology, social and affective neuroscience, and neurophilosophy. The chapters investigate the intricate connections between brain, mind, self, society, and human evolutionary heritage. These connections are examined in relation to critical areas such as group dynamics, social interaction, emotions, morality, historical processes, anti-social behavior, and mental health.

This volume is positioned as a significant compilation for researchers at the intersection of biology, neuroscience, and sociology. The interdisciplinary nature of the contributions suggests a text aimed at specialists and advanced students seeking to understand the complex interplay between biological factors and social phenomena. The scope of topics covered, from evolutionary heritage to mental health, indicates a comprehensive overview of current thinking in these rapidly developing fields.
