The novelist Joseph Conrad expressed a great truth when he said:
"The mind of man is capable of anything--because everything is in
it, all the past as well as the future," Our evolutionary history
of noble acts and foul deeds, leading to survival and reproduction,
guarantees that we understand the most essential facets of our
physical and social environment. The nature of our struggles--our
lusts, our fears, our objectivity, our irra-tionality--lies
embedded in our cellular DNA and the neurons of our mind, there to
play itself out much like it did in the past and much like it will
in the future. Many have seen the links between our minds and the
universe, the common thread of our existence and the inevitability
of our loves and hates. This book includes many demonstrations that
our nature has been on the minds and lips of many--poets,
play-wrights, philosophers, historians, novelists, kings, slaves,
religious leaders, and the great-est of knaves. From Ralph Waldo
Emerson to Arthur Schopenhauer, from Aldous Huxley to Arthur Conan
Doyle, from Aristotle to William Shakespeare, the truths about
our-selves have come tumbling out. Reflecting on their thoughts we
see ourselves. The universal nature of our being reflects our
common origins and our bittersweet destiny. In A Sociobiology
Compendium, Del Thiessen mines the richness of biological
inves-tigations of human behavior, comparing current views of human
behavior with expres-sions by non-scientists who have, in one way
or another, touched the evolutionary strings of men and women. He
begins each section with a brief account of biological notions of
human behavior. The book shows in astonishing ways how the earlier
thoughts of men and women from all cultures anticipate the
biological observations about our being. A Sociobiology Compendium
will be engaging reading for all psychologists, sociologists, and
biologists.
