The Human Swarm

Sean Patrick Hopkins gives an unassuming, direct performance of Moffett's exhaustive audiobook about the nature of human behavior in groups and how we contrast to other species. Moffett is a Harvard scholar and Smithsonian researcher. Listeners unfamiliar with the group behaviors of monkeys, lions, and insects will find his work enlightening. Humans have managed to survive and flourish because of our general acceptance of each other. For example, our ability to enter a coffee shop and join the group there without conflict is an indicator of how we've survived while other species struggle. Hopkins's narrative tone is approachable and enjoyable. S.P.C. � AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
