Alex S. Key

Alex S. Key was born in Liverpool, England. Following his graduation from the University of Manchester, he spent the subsequent years applying evolutionary psychology to aspects of everyday life, including belief systems, and intensified his work following the September 11th attacks. He wrote The Third Basic Instinct to help prevent the false beliefs behind terrorist attacks--and other unproductive behavior such as overeating or addiction--by providing a deeper understanding of human emotions and motivation. He currently lives in Manhattan.
