This book reviews the research on Einstein's brain from a
sociological perspective and in the context of the social brain
paradigm. Instead of "Einstein, the genius of geniuses" standing on
the shoulders of giants, Restivo proposes a concept of Einstein the
social being standing on the shoulders of social networks. Rather
than challenging Einstein's uniqueness or the uniqueness of his
achievements, the book grounds Einstein and his achievements in a
social ecology opposed to the myths of the "I," individualism, and
the very idea of "genius." "Einstein" is defined by the particular
configuration of social networks that he engaged as his life
unfolded, not by biological inheritances.
