by Professor Steven Rose , Professor of Biotogy at the Open University
How much of mankind's behaviour is inherited? How much is learned? Recently this old nature-nurture issue has become one of the most contentious fields in biology. The Sociobiologists argue that a great part of our social activity is genetically programmed and therefore should be explicable in purely biological terms. Professor Rose criticises this position and argues that the methods used by the Sociobiologists are not scientific and can never lead to a better understanding of the social nature of man.
