Overview
In spite of continuing criticisms from sociology and other social sciences as well as philosophy and biology, the contentions of sociobiology continue to spread in science and the popular media; Leavitt (sociology, Idaho State U.) aims to help those in the social sciences take a more skeptical view of sociobiology and the Darwinian social science it engenders by helping them develop a deeper understanding of the complexities and difficulties of evolution by natural selection. He focuses on an extended, systematic analysis of the theory of inbreeding and incest avoidance that also serves as a critique of sociobiology.
