About This Book
Steven Pinker challenges the dogma that the human mind is a blank slate shaped entirely by environment and culture. Drawing on cognitive science and evolutionary biology, he argues for an innate human nature that informs our morality, politics, and social behavior. The text examines the origins of human traits and the societal implications of denying our biological heritage.
