Sahlins stands almost alone in clearly and convincingly pointing out the weaknesses of sociobiology's epistemological presuppositions."" - Vern Carroll, The University of Michigan ""Sahlins' book is an extended brief for a simple and cogent argument: human behavior cannot be reduced to biology because culture interposes itself as a unique level between the genotype and the phenotype of human conduct."" - Stephan Jay Gould, Harvard University"
