About this title

Synopsis

Plotkin (psychobiology, University College, London, England) provides a lively examination of how a grasp of human evolution and the natural sciences is essential to understanding human culture and the many social constructs of which culture consists. In essence, he argues that culture is part of a natural process that is actually a billion years old. Originally published by Allen Lane (London), in 2002.
