Synopsis
This title provides an intelligent and entertaining look at how evolution has had a profound influence on our consumer behaviour. What do all successful fast-food restaurants have in common? Why are women more likely to become compulsive shoppers? Why are men more likely become addicted to pornography? The answer to these intriguing questions is 'the consuming instinct' - the underlying evolutionary basis for most of our consumer behaviour. "The Consuming Instinct" is a highly informative and entertaining book that explores the vibrant new field of evolutionary consumption, which examines the relevance of our biological heritage to our daily lives as consumers. While culture is important, this book demonstrates how innate evolutionary forces deeply influence the foods we eat, the gifts we give, the clothes we wear and the music we listen to and the faiths we follow., Explores the vibrant field of evolutionary consumption, which examines the relevance of our biological heritage to our daily lives as consumers. This title demonstrates how innate evolutionary forces deeply influence the foods we eat, the gifts we give, the clothes we wear and the music we listen to and the faiths we follow., In this highly informative and entertaining book, the founder of the vibrant new field of evolutionary consumption illuminates the relevance of our biological heritage to our daily lives as consumers. While culture is important, the author shows that innate evolutionary forces deeply influence the foods we eat, the gifts we offer, the cosmetics and clothing styles we choose to make ourselves more attractive to potential mates, and even the cultural products that stimulate our imaginations (such as art, music, and religion). The book demonstrates that most acts of consumption can be mapped onto four key Darwinian drives-namely, survival (we prefer foods high in calories); reproduction (we use products as sexual signals); kin selection (we naturally exchange gifts with family members); and reciprocal altruism (we enjoy offering gifts to close friends). The author further highlights the analogous behaviors that exist between human consumers and a wide range of animals. For anyone interested in the biological basis of human behavior or simply in what makes consumers tick-marketing professionals, advertisers, psychology mavens, and consumers themselves-this is a fascinating read., In this highly informative and entertaining book, the founder of the vibrant new field of evolutionary consumption illuminates the relevance of our biological heritage to our daily lives as consumers.
