ISBN10: 014027605X, ISBN13: 9780140276053, [publisher: Penguin Books Ltd, London] Softcover First Edition Paperback. Steven Pinker's landmark defence of human natureRecently many people have assumed that we are blank slates shaped by our environment. But this denies the heart of our being- human nature. Violence is not just a product of society; male and female minds are different; the genes we give our children shape them more than our parenting practices. To acknowledge our innate abilities, Pinker shows, is not to condone inequality, but to understand the very foundations of humanity. Recently many people have assumed that we are shaped by our environment: a blank slate waiting to be inscribed by upbringing and culture, with innate abilities playing little part. This title shows that this view denies the heart of our being: human nature. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
