About This Item
London: Jonathan Cape, 2000. 1st. h/b. Very good, 1st edition (1st printing), unclipped d/j (good, small tears and bumping), black clothbound boards, gilt spine titling, text block firm, pages crisp and unmarked (slight yellowing). 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). At the beginning of the 21st century genes are used to explain almost every aspect of human life, from social inequalities to health, sexuality and criminality. This book offers a crticism of this so called evolutionary psychology, arguing that it rests on shaky empirical evidence, flawed premises and unexamined political presuppositions. The editors have gathered together some of the most eminent and outspoken critics of this fashionable ideology.
