Suggest me a books about human evolution in the evolutionary perspective
Or psychology books where human is being observed as just an animal
Bonus
If you know good books on occult symbolism or something similar to Manly Palmer hall secret teachings of all ages

tight niche—here’s a sharp list across both angles:
**human evolution / animal psychology:**
* **The Naked Ape** by Desmond Morris classic, blunt, sees humans through pure zoologist lens
* **Sapiens** by Yuval Noah Harari mainstream but hits hard on our evolutionary contradictions
* **The Moral Animal** by Robert Wright evolutionary psych through the lens of Darwin + everyday behavior
* **Behave** by Robert Sapolsky deep dive on why we do what we do—biological, evolutionary, social all rolled in
* **Human: The Science Behind What Makes Us Unique** by Michael Gazzaniga lighter read but solid mix of neuro and evo psych
**occult / symbolism / esoteric studies:**
* **The Secret Doctrine** by Helena Blavatsky denser than Hall, but huge in influence
* **The Book of Thoth** by Aleister Crowley if you want Tarot, ritual, and heavy symbolism
* **The Kybalion** by Three Initiates hermetic basics, short but layered
* **Meditations on the Tarot** (anonymous, originally in French) Christian Hermeticism with deep symbolic analysis
you’re asking the right questions
these’ll send you down some long tunnels
