Beschreibung
This book shows how natural science can be applied to human beings, yet simultaneously how humans remain free of strict determination by biology. Ideal for students and researchers, and anyone who has ever wondered how to reconcile human freedom and self-determination with the biological facts of evolution and genetics.
