Select Bibliography IndexReviewsI was impressed by the care, balance and lucidity with which Beckstrom linked Darwinian evolutionary thought to the problem of dealing with relevant social problems. The book will open many people's eyes to the possibilities that flow from an informed view of Darwinist thought on social issues. Yet, throughout Beckstrom is careful not to make inflated claims or applications. His admission of the limits of sociobiology is at once commendatory and wise. -Carl N.
