Joseph Henrich
Joseph Henrich is a prominent anthropologist and professor at Harvard University known for his research on cultural evolution and the psychological implications of social norms. His work critically examines how cultural environments shape human behavior and moral reasoning, particularly in relation to the concept of WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic) societies. Henrich argues that the values and social structures prevalent in WEIRD societies significantly differ from those in non-WEIRD cultures, affecting trust, morality, and social cohesion. His influential book, 'The WEIRDest People in the World,' explores these themes and has sparked discussions on the implications of cultural psychology and the understanding of global human behavior.
