Pílulas antideterministas do Dr. Hauser
WHAT'S IN A NAME? O americano Marc Hauser, estrela despontante da sociobiologia/etologia humana, que pouca gente teria dúvidas em apontar como "determinista", cita a seguinte passagem em seu livro Moral Minds:
"Kin selection and reciptocal altruism are plausible as far as they go but I find that they do not begin to square up to the formidable challenge of explaining cultural evolution and the immense differences between human cultures around the world (...) For an understanting of the evolution of modern man we must begin by throwing out the gene as the sole basis of our ideas on evolution."
Um pirulito para quem adivinhar o livro de onde ele tirou essa citação:
( ) It Ain't Necessarily So, de Richard Lewontin
( ) The Century of the Gene, de Evelyn Keller
( ) Horton Hears a Who, de Dr. Seuss
( ) The Selfish Gene, de Richard Dawkins

Com o Google ficou muuuito fácil de confirmar o palpite: Dawkins, the Selfish Gene, onde ele introduz o conceito de "meme" (existe palavra em português para isso)?
Ah, grande Dawkins. O que vc achou de "The God Delusion"?
