The plight of the American Indian, the real meaning of equal opportunity, and sociogenic brain damage are among the subjects examined by Professor Montagu in this edition of his classic work.
"An iconoclast, Montagu wields his encyclopedic knowledge of physical anthropology to show how women's biological, genetic, and physical characteristics make her not only man's equal, but his superior.
In this new, revised edition of his landmark book, Montagu compels us to reevaluate the way we think about growth and development, in all its phases, throughout life.
In this book the author debunks a currently fashionable theory - the notion that 'human beings are inescapable killers' - and sets forth the scientific evidence for an alternative view.
