Cultural Perspectives on Biological Knowledge

by Bloomsbury Academic

Overview

Scholars remain locked in a battle over the relative importance of heredity and environment for such diverse matters as human intelligence, female institution, and racial stratification. The present collection is an attempt to contribute to the quality of this discussion, and focuses not only on the matter of relative weights, but the matter of interaction. Most of the contributions deal with the quality and character of the connection between the two. Four essays focus upon what is now known about this friendship in several areas of practical and theoretical significance. The authors reach beyond the caveat that both are important and indicate how and why there is a relationship of some complexity.
