WINNER OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY INSIGHT INVESTMENT SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE 2020

How proteins, machine learning and molecular chemistry can teach us about the complexities of human behaviour and the world around us

How do we understand the people around us? How do we recognise people's motivations, their behaviour, or even their facial expressions? And, when do we learn the social cues that dictate human behaviour?

Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at the age of eight, Camilla Pang struggled to understand the world around her and the way people worked. Desperate for a solution, Camilla asked her mother if there was an instruction manual for humans that she could consult. But, without the blueprint to life she was hoping for, Camilla began to create her own. Now armed with a PhD in biochemistry, Camilla dismantles our obscure social customs and identifies what it really means to be human using her unique expertise and a language she knows best: science.

Through a set of scientific principles, this book examines life's everyday interactions including:

- Decisions and the route we take to make them;
- Conflict and how we can avoid it;
- Relationships and how we establish them;
- Etiquette and how we conform to it.

Explaining Humans is an original and incisive exploration of human nature and the strangeness of social norms, written from the outside looking in. Camilla's unique perspective of the world, in turn, tells us so much about ourselves - about who we are and why we do it - and is a fascinating guide on how to lead a more connected, happier life.

Not for me

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 3 aprile 2020

Acquisto verificato

I was excited to read this having read the promo write up in the Times, but I really didn't enjoy it. For me there were long rambling analogies to scientific phemonena/findings/experiments, that were then clumsily linked back to a fairly far fetched sounding anecdote or type of human behaviour. I gleaned a few points on self improvement, but mostly it came across as the musings of someone bright, but young, without much life experience. I made it to the end, but only just.

Articulates perfectly things I have already found difficult to explain

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 27 luglio 2020

I am still reading this but the first handful of chapters are really helpful. This is the first time I have come across something that so perfectly describes experiences similar to those I have in life. I am an autistic person who received a diagnosis late in life and this book help to understand why the way i do things is different to what allistics do. It has been helpful for me to understand, not only them, but convey the complexity of what I am doing to others. The diagrams and the way the information is presented is perfect for me. The level of detail is great. I can't recommend this book highly enough.

Read the blurb!!

Can’t believe some of these reviews, how can you complain about a book not being what you thought it was when you haven’t made the effort to read the description?

Just 2 chapters in and I love this book! Exactly what it promises, the instruction manual to human behaviour explained in a concept us science nerds can understand. I’m autistic and ADHD, I grew up loving science for the same reasons the author did. No matter how much psychology I’ve studied and explanations from others for the behaviour of humans as a collective, I could never quite wrap my head around it. This book explains those things in metaphors that are much more easily understood to a mind like mine. So far I’ve found it entertaining to look at the world this way as well as it boosting confidence in my weirdness. “My neurodiversity created so many questions about what it meant to be human, but it also gave me the power to answer them.” Physics is my field and I’m really looking forward to those chapters ahead!

Only downside is that the book prize 2020 is not a sticker but actually printed on, the hardback is really pretty otherwise!

A self-help book with poor psychological science

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 17 giugno 2021

Acquisto verificato

This is a book that describes Pang's personal coping strategy for dealing with her ADHD and autism. She describes how a wide variety of science concepts act as analogies for her feelings and social interactions. For example, the mixed drivers of her anger are treated as wavelengths of light, each can be dealt with if they are refracted by a personal "prism" and faced individually. If you found that a difficult leap to make, you wouldn't be alone - just read some of the other reviews on here. Pang's book will clearly help some people who experience the same difficulties, but I found the analogies a) difficult to get to grips with and b) based on a poor understanding of behavioural science. Another example - myers-briggs personality types are analogous to protein activation in cell processes. Yep - a tough one if you don't trust myers-briggs in the first place. There are lots of other examples of poor Psychological science in this book - but I'll refrain from being geeky. Overall, it may be helpful as a self-help book for some neurodiverse individuals, but a questionable choice as "Science book of the year", I feel.

Really wanted to like this book, but…

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 23 luglio 2022

Acquisto verificato

While it was written by someone who clearly knows their science, the science used was almost entirely by analogy rather than application. For example, the 16 different personality types defined in Myers-Briggs, which doesn’t have a great rep these days anyway, gets over-simplified by analogy to less than a handful of protein types. Other than learning a bit about proteins, that seriously dumbed down any real understanding of people.
After about half way I ended up flicking through the rest to the end. There are far more informative and relatable books out there that support ASD folk in dealing with the world, and/or that help neurotypical folk understand a little more about neurodiversity. Unfortunately there’s little sign of the wisdom that other autistic authors have brought to the page- this reads more like it was written by someone who knows a great deal of scientific facts (and likes to talk about it), but has little life experience.
Still, it got a prize from the Royal Society, so maybe it’s just me…
