Human Natures

Why do we behave the way we do? Biologist <b>Paul Ehrlich</b> suggests that although people share a common genetic code these genes do not shout commands at us...at the very most they whisper suggestions. He argues that human nature is not so much result of genetic coding; rather it is heavily influenced by cultural conditioning and environmental factors. With personal anecdotes a well-written narrative and clear examples <b>Human Natures</b> is a major work of synthesis and scholarship as well as a valuable primer on genetics and evolution that makes complex scientific concepts accessible to lay readers.
