Review # 1 was written on 2018-07-31 00:00:00 Steven Tail My ratings of books on Goodreads are solely a crude ranking of their utility to me, and not an evaluation of literary merit, entertainment value, social importance, humor, insightfulness, scientific accuracy, creative vigor, suspensefulness of plot, depth of characters, vitality of theme, excitement of climax, satisfaction of ending, or any other combination of dimensions of value which we are expected to boil down through some fabulous alchemy into a single digit.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-02-08 00:00:00 Malcolm Haggerty I wouldn't say this is a bad presentation of some ideas. I'd say it's a better example of how evolutionary psychology ropes off realities that sociobiology was positioned to engage with, more than anything. This book demonstrates how EP is a half-step away from social constructionism - placing it between SC and sociobiology. It's contents are close enough to being based in a good scheme that you can patch it as you read with your unauthorized understanding, pending you've already developed one.
