Science: Geoffrey Miller: Consumer Behavior
Evolutionary psychologythe compelling science of our human nature
has influenced fields from economics to personal relationships. Now evolutionary psychologist Geoffrey Miller, author of Spent: Sex, Evolution, and Consumer Behavior, takes these scientific principles to a new domain: the sensual wonderland of marketing and status-seeking that we call consumer culture. Starting with the basic notion that the things we buy unconsciously advertise our biological potential as mates and friends, Miller examines the hidden factors that dictate our choices in everything from lipstick to cars, and from magazines to music. Presented as part of Seattle Science Lectures, with Pacific Science Center and University Book Store.
