By tracing these structures across cultures, he tried to answer nothing less than the eternal question: "What is man?"

Anthropologist Geert Hofstede's 1980 work, Culture's Consequences, was the first study to look at cultural differences using data.

Our species, it appears, is hardwired to get things wrong in myriad different ways.

What made four of the Air Force's best pilots fly their planes, in formation, straight into the ground?

How functional medicine leverages systems biology and epigenetic science to treat the microbiome and reverse chronic disease. Each body is a system within a system—an ecology within the larger context of social, political, economic, cultural, and environmental factors. This is one of the lessons of epigenetics, whereby structural inequalities are literally encoded in our genes.
