Sex certainly seems more complicated than a matter of our DNA struggling to survive and that's because it is. Eldredge directly confronts those who would cast us as puppets of biological imperatives rooted deep in our hunter-gatherer past. Their models, he points out, are based on lower forms of life. In humans, there is an intricate interplay between meeting our needs for day-to-day survival, sex and reproduction (the human triangle)-further complicated by cultural forces (customs, laws) that routinely override selfish-gene behaviour. rethink the assumptions of today's science in the important task of understanding ourselves.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"W W Norton \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Why We Do It: Rethinking Sex and the Selfish Gene | Niles Eldredge | Hardcover | 9780393050820 | Used: Like New | Psychology 1636451","offer_id":48429403930776,"sku":"1636451","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/41ZCBJF3SNL.jpg?v=1773349999","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/why-we-do-it-rethinking-sex-and-the-selfish-gene","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
