Book Synopsis


Trade Review
‘This is Alexandra Maryanski’s and Jonathan H. Turner’s best effort yet in their long quest to try to help save biophobic sociologists from themselves. Darwin predicted that evolutionary thinking would “throw much light” on humanity’s origin and history. Turner and Maryanski show exactly where, and how, to throw that light.’ -- Richard S. Machalek, University of Wyoming, US
