About this title

Synopsis

This book is an attempt to marry the human and biological sciences. Can the insights of science provide a proper understanding of human culture, or must we leave the analysis of culture to the so-called human sciences: anthropology, psychology, sociology etc? Plotkin's book aims to bridge the gulf between these various disciplines and science. The theory of evolution provides the bridge.
