A review by danielmbensen
On Human Nature: Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Edition, with a New Preface by Edward O. Wilson
3.0
what we can expect from H. sapiens, at least until genetic engineering.
This was research for a book, and a re-read. I didn't remember much from the first time around, but maybe that's just because I internalized the information on human behavior. Like other old, influential books, On Human Nature suffers from the passage of time. The true parts now appear obvious, and the false parts ridiculous. I wish there was a more current wide-scope book for laypeople about the behavior of the human animal, but I haven't found it yet.
