Sociobiology
Dallas-Fort Worth Book Appearances
Join UL alumnus, physician, biologist, and author Joseph N. Abraham, MD, for several appearances in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Human Genetic Behavior
…And this is why I have foolishly chosen to discuss the taboos of genetic behavior, and ethnic and sexual norms; not to chain people to stereotypes, but to free us all from them. We must recognize our genetic tendencies in order to design around them, and past them; as Bertolt Brecht noted, “When there are obstacles, the shortest distance between two points is a crooked line.”
Too Many Babies: The Law of Universal Superfecundity
All living things produce too many babies, and not all of them can survive; it’s the Law of Universal Superfecundity. Humans are not exempt.
Gender Equity & Pointless Ambition
Too often, gender equity pursues a masculine success of domination and pointless ambition, ironically making ‘equal rights’ offensively anti-egalitarian.
Sexual Genetics
Sexual Genetics: differences between boys and girls exist, on average. Insisting that the differences are universal, or that they are nonexistent, are both unjust.
Temporary Insanity
Temporary insanity affects us all, at stages in our lives and at points in our day. It is an example of how we struggle against our genetic behaviors.
Outrageous Lebanese Genetics
Lebanese Genetics sounds boring, but the Lebanese may be the most stereotypical ethnic group around, an inheritance from the Phoenicians.
The Deadly Game of Hawk-Dove
Consider hawk-dove: in the struggle between good and evil, who wins, warriors or peace makers? Neither does, because both do. In reality, there is no ideal.
