To acknowledge our nature, Pinker shows, is not to condone inequality, but to understand the very foundations of humanity.
Violence is not just a product of society; male and female minds are different; the genes we give our children shape the more than our parenting practices.
Recently many people have assumed that we are shaped by our environment: a Blank slate waiting to be inscribed by upbringing and culture, with innate abilities playing little part.
