James,My comment is NOT about the aesthetic literary aspects of the book. It is ONLY about the science of genetics. The present religious doctrine of the AAAS trade-union-church is that it is not the culture horses that pull the genetic wagon but the wagon that pushes the horses...

Nor was my comment about the asethetic literary aspects of the book. It was about its content. When/If you read it, you'll discover that the author discusses the culture-genetics relationship at great length.

Update comprehension of culture-genetics relationship:
it's culture that forms genetics, not vice versa!!!

A genetic history of a cultural phenotype is the progeny of its cultural history.
Genetics is the progeny of culture. Culture, the reaction to and exploitation of circumstances, shapes the genetic expressions and profile. Genes are organisms, life’s primal organisms.
