Reconstructing Biology: Genetics and Ecology in the New World Order

The author presents the premise that the trinity of genetic determinism, neomalthusianism and nature worship have been socially constructed first by popular culture and second by biologists. In this absorbing work, he provides scientific information on a wide spectrum of issues of concern to contemporary society. Covers topics containing important biological components including racism, evolution, genetics, gender and gender roles, the environment, language and abstract thought.
