Résumé
Do our genes determine our behavior? Do education and
environment have any influence at all? Do humans occupy a
unique position in evolution? To clarify these provoking
questions, the author takes the reader on an ambitious and
entertaining journey through a variety of scientific
disciplines. In doing so, he creates an image of human
evolution that says that our entire individual knowledge is
determined - to the smallest detail - by phylogeny. " ...
before shocked humanists discard such radical theses as
mere nonsense, they should not completely close their minds
to the explanations of a biologist who says that we still
know very little about the genetic determination of human
behavior and that the invariance of many forms of behavior
present in all cultures nourish the suspicion that the
determining role of genes is probably far more
comprehensive than we have ever dreamed." Wolfgang Wieser,
translated from his review in "Merkur" (Sept./Oct. 1999)
