Jonathan H. Turner

On Human Nature

The Biology and Sociology of What Made Us Human

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Combining sociology, evolutionary biology, cladistic biology, and comparative neuroanatomy to examine human nature, Turner sees human nature as a series of overlapping complexes that are the outcome of the inherited legacy of great apes being fed through the transforming effects of a larger brain, speech, and culture.
