Summary
Lumsden and Wilson open by arguing that evolutionary biology and the social sciences have remained artificially divided, with neither able to explain how genetic evolution and cultural history influence one another. They present the book as an attempt to supply the missing linkage, extending Darwinian theory for the first time into the domain of mind and human social history.
