Why did only one species evolve a mind this powerful? The answer has eluded science—until now. The Curiosity Gene traces curiosity to its violent birth amid warfare that predates humanity itself, where it became a survival tool like no other—triggering a 2.3-million-year march from ape to human. But this is no museum piece. It is your burden.
Turning that same ancient drive on the present, The Curiosity Gene lays bare the anxiety and frustration of modern life, revealing why true, meaningful happiness cannot be chased. It must be earned. Backed by an AI named Jiminy Cricket, trained on the breadth of human knowledge, Alex Kourt stress-tests a landmark theory of how we evolved—and what truly sets our species apart. The same ancient drive that built our world is the one that will not let you rest.
