{"product_id":"complexities-susan-mckinnon-9780226500232","title":"Complexities: Beyond Nature \u0026 Nurture","description":"Recent years have seen a growing impetus to explain social life almost exclusively in biological and mechanistic terms, and to dismiss cultural meaning and difference. Daily we read assertions that everything from disease to morality--not to mention the presumed characteristics of race, gender, and sexuality--can be explained by reference primarily to genetics and our evolutionary past. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eComplexities mobilizes experts from several fields of anthropology--cultural, archaeological, linguistic, and biological--to offer a compelling challenge to the resurgence of reductive theories of human biological and social life. This book presents evidence to contest such theories and to provide a multifaceted account of the complexity and variability of the human condition. Charting a course that moves beyond any simple opposition between nature and nurture, \u003ci\u003eComplexities\u003c\/i\u003e argues that a nonreductive perspective has important implications for how we understand and develop human potential.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan McKinnon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226500233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226500232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.32h x 6.42w x 0.94d","brand":"Susan McKinnon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48658832949503,"sku":"9780226500232","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/complexities-susan-mckinnon-9780226500232","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
