Description: Biology as Ideology by Richard C. Lewontin Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Following in the fashion of Stephen Jay Gould and Peter Medawar, one of the world's leading scientists examines how "pure science" is in fact shaped and guided by social and political needs and assumptions. Publisher Description Many people now believe that science is the religion of the 20th century - that its authority is beyond question or challenge, and that its rules and findings can indisputably explain the past and predict the future of human existence, as well as individual behaviours. This study takes a close and informed look at the packaging of science as the panacea to global problems, demonstrating how science (and scientists) are molded by society, and how the dominant social and economic forces in society determine to a large extent what scientists do and how they do it. R.C. Lewinton is the author of "Human Diversity", "The Genetic Basis of Evolutionary Change", and co-author of "Not in Our Genes" and "The Dialectical Biologist". Author Biography Lewontin is Alexander Agassiz Research Professor at the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University.
