In 2000, behaviour biologist Mark Nelissen published De bril van Darwin. The book was highly praised as an eye-opener. In his latest book, De brein machine. De biologische wortels van emoties en gevoelens (The brain machine. The biological roots of emotions and feelings), he describes how, when it comes down to it, emotions take the upper hand in our behaviour. How has evolution designed the brain machine to our advantage?
