A piece by Nicholas Wade on the genetics of evolution was the cover story in - The Spectator
'An eloquent but disturbing book on genes, race and human history.' - The Times
An article also discussed the controversy the book has created: 'Nicholas Wade, a science writer, says that since the sequencing of the human genome in 2003, evidence of genetic differences has been mounting.... but the genetic theory of West s rise is denounced as racist' - The Times
'The theme of A Troublesome Inheritance is an unusual one for a science journalist, namely that the scientists themselves are all wrong about the things that they are experts in, and it will take a naïf like the author, unprejudiced by experience, judgment, or actual knowledge, to straighten them out.' -
--The Huffington Post
"An eloquent but disturbing book on genes, race and human history." --The Times (UK)
Reseña del editor
Wade, a longtime journalist covering genetic advances for The New York Times, draws widely on the work of scientists who have made crucial breakthroughs in establishing the reality of recent human evolution. The most provocative claims in this book involve the genetic basis of human social habits. What we might call middle class social traits-thrift, docility, nonviolence, have been slowly but surely inculcated genetically within agrarian societies, Wade argues. While these values have a strong cultural component, Wade argues that evolution has played its part.
