First edition (publ. Prometheus Books)

Our Political Nature: The Evolutionary Origins of What Divides Us is a 2013 book by Avi Tuschman. It proposed an evolutionary theory of human political orientation.[1] The book theorizes that political leanings are evolutionary adaptations that arise primarily from three clusters of measurable personality traits: tribalism, tolerance of inequality, and perceptions of human nature.[1][2] As evidence, Our Political Nature synthesizes studies from the fields of political science, genetics, neuroscience, and primatology.[3] The book also offers a psychological explanation for why economic stress tends to broaden the divide between political factions.[4]
