Exploring human behavior through a scientific lens, the author challenges traditional cultural and social concepts, questioning their effectiveness in understanding social life. He introduces the multimodal framework (MMF), which integrates insights from anthropology and philosophy of science, influenced by thinkers like Gregory Bateson and Victor Turner. The book also examines the interplay between social groups and individual identity, while addressing biological aspects and evolutionary theories related to human social behavior.
