Beschreibung

Today genes are called upon to explain almost every aspect of our lives from social inequalities to health sexual preference and criminality. Based on Darwin's theory of evolution and natural selection Evolutionary Psychology with its claim that 'it's all in our genes' has become the most popular scientific theory of the late 20th century. Books such as Richard Dawkins's The Selfish Gene Edward O.Wilson's Consilience and Steven Pinker's The Language Instinct have become bestsellers and frame the public debate on human life and development: we can see their influence as soon as we open a Sunday newspaper. In recent years however many biologists and social scientists have begun to contest this new biological determinism and shown that Evolutionary Psychology rests on shaky empirical evidence flawed premises and unexamined political presuppositions. In this provocative and ground-breaking book Hilary and Steven Rose have gathered together the most eminent and outspoken critics of this fashionable ideology ranging from Stephen Jay Gould and Patrick Bateson to Mary Midgley Tim Ingold and Annette Karmiloff-Smith. What emerges is a new perspective on human development which acknowledges the complexity of life by placing at its centre the living organism rather than the gene.
