Explaining Humans

Summary

A young scientist's idiosyncratic guide to human behavior, written for readers who have ever felt baffled by social rules. Diagnosed with autism and ADHD as a child, Pang draws on her training in biochemistry, using ideas from molecular dynamics, machine learning, and evolution to make sense of friendship, conflict, and emotion. The book reframes neurodivergence as a productive vantage point on human life rather than a deficit, blending memoir with accessible science.
