I can hardly remember all of the book under review, but there's one article in it that goes utterly against the sociobiologists' creed. Diamond argues that "racial" differences in appearance (black vs. pink skin, etc.) arise not from the usual suspects but from Darwin's sexual selection. In his view, men and women tend to seek out sexual partners who look like the people they know and trust. Thus, black men & women seek each other out, passing down genes for black skin, while pink men & women seek each other out, passing down the genes for pink skin, etc.
Odd, I always attributed white men choosing white women and vice versa to racism, not passing down genes.
