Diamond's theory opens the door for cultural determination of the choice of mates. That in turn says that which genes survive to be passed down to progeny is at least in part determined by the broader culture, not simply what one's parents look like. That turns sociobiology on its head, since they'd like to reduce culture to biology. -- Jim Devine / "If heart-aches were commercials, we'd all be on TV." -- John Prine _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
