Basic Instincts
Michael Blastland investigates whether it is possible to replace political and social science with biology. A new discipline called evolutionary psychology is the latest attempt to understand human affairs using
Darwinian theory, and has reopened the age-old debate about the forces of nature and nurture. The variety of questions it seeks to ask is vast. He finds out how much of our behaviour evolutionary psychology can explain. Producers Michael Blastland , Anthony Dworkin Repeated Sunday 4.15pm
