This book was an interesting experience, since I started out agreeing with the author's main thesis, and in spite of that, he couldn't convince me. Throughout the book, I continually kept asking myself, "Yes, but where's the evidence?" The author supports his thesis with a parade of anecdotes, all of which taken together do not constitute evidence. In addition, his writing style, which I usually like, lapses into annoying vernacular, continually referring to human reproduction as "making babies", thereby making this learned and erudite author sound like a kindergarten teacher searching for a suitable euphemism for a scientific term that should not be offensive or difficult to understand. I don't recommend it at all. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Over the last thirty years, many scientists have come to insist that our behaviour is governed by our genes-above all when it comes to sex, which, we are told, is how genes perpetuate themselves. Sex certainly seems more complicated than a matter of our DNA struggling to survive and that's because it is. Eldredge directly confronts those who would cast us as puppets of biological imperatives rooted deep in our hunter-gatherer past. Their models, he points out, are based on lower forms of life. In humans, there is an intricate interplay between meeting our needs for day-to-day survival, sex and reproduction (the human triangle)-further complicated by cultural forces (customs, laws) that routinely override selfish-gene behaviour. rethink the assumptions of today's science in the important task of understanding ourselves.
