520    "Harvard University's Joseph Henrich, Chair of the 
       Department of Human Evolutionary Biology, delivers a bold,
       epic investigation into the development of the Western 
       mind, global psychological diversity, and its impact on 
       the world"--|cProvided by publisher. 
520    Perhaps you are WEIRD: raised in a society that is Western,
       Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic. If so, 
       you're rather psychologically peculiar. Henrich 
       illuminates the origins and evolution of family structures,
       marriage, and religion, and the profound impact these 
       cultural transformations had on human psychology. Mapping 
       these shifts through ancient history and late antiquity, 
       Henrich reveals that the most fundamental institutions of 
       kinship and marriage changed dramatically under pressure 
       from the Roman Catholic Church. It was these changes that 
       gave rise to the WEIRD psychology that would lay the 
       foundation for the modern world. -- adapted from jacket
