Complexities: Beyond Nature and Nurture Book

Recent years have seen a growing impetus to explain social life almost exclusively in biological and mechanistic terms, and to dismiss cultural meaning and difference. Daily we read assertions that everything from disease to moralityâ??not to mention the presumed characteristics of race, gender, and sexualityâ??can be explained by reference primarily to genetics and our evolutionary past.Complexities mobilizes experts from several fields of anthropologyâ??cultural , archaeological, linguistic, and biologicalâ??to offer a compelling challenge to the resurgence of reductive theories of human biological and social life. This book presents evidence to contest such theories and to provide a multifaceted account of the complexity and variability of the human condition. Charting a course that moves beyond any simple opposition between nature and nurture, Complexities argues that a nonreductive perspective has important implications for how we understand and develop human potential.Read More
