Jonathan Kaplan weighs the evidence for genetic determinism of such human traits as intelligence, depression, homosexuality and violence, and argues that neither genes nor the environment alone can explain the complex variations amongst humans.
In The Limits and Lies of Human Genetic Research, Jonathan Kaplan weighs in on the controversial subject of the roles genes play in determining aspects of physical and behavioral human variation. Limits and Lies makes the case that neither the information we have on genes, nor on the environment, is sufficient to explain the complex variations among humans.
