'An absorbing book. It elevates gossip from its status as a social evil to a social good, in writing that is dizzyingly multi-disciplinary.' Guardian'Forget the godlike pretensions to intellectual rigour, the grand claims of science and art. Humans developed big brains and high intelligence mainly to amuse and seduce each other, and above all to make their friends feel cosy. This is the central theme of a highly persuasive argument by Robin Dunbar, professor of psychology at the University of Liverpool.' Financial Times
