Reviews

Reviews of the first publication: ‘…admirably lucid and runs smoothly from sociology to biology and back again, showing it can be done. Professor Lopreato’s grasp of evolutionary biology is truly remarkable. This book has a potentially unifying role to play.’ — Professor E. O. Wilson, Harvard University ‘…useful for teaching purposes with regard to sociobiology and society, along with an excellent reference section.’ — Frank K. Salter, Griffith University ‘…it might well represent a major conceptual bridge between important aspects of social science and the expanding scientific synthesis.’ — Professor D. D. Thiessen, University of Texas at Austin
