Description
Is man innately bestial? Will war always be with us? Is sexual be- havior culturally or biologically determined?
Complacency, cynical self-interest, and sheer ignorance have caused destructive beliefs and practices to become deeply rooted in social tradition. Dr. Ashley Montagu, distinguished author and anthropologist, demonstrates the danger of vicious myths such as blood, race, caste, the inevitability of war. In a provocative and brilliant analysis of man's rational nature, Dr. Montagu maintains that our only hope for survival rests in our learning to become more and more human.
