Frank Salter is an Australian political scientist who has been a researcher with the Max Planck Society, Andechs, Germany, since 1991.
-[This] is a fresh and deep contribution to the sociobiology of
humans, combining genetics with social science in original
ways.---Edward O. Wilson, Harvard University -The book greatly
expands Hamiltonian AEkin selection by making ethnies in control of
territory the central arena of AEselfish genery in a modern world
of mass migration.---Pierre van den Berghe, University of
Washington, Seattle -Salter argues that all humans have a vital
interest in genetic continuity that is threatened by mass
migration. Salter advocates non-aggressive AEuniversal nationalism
as part of a balanced AEfitness portfolio that includes investments
in three levels of genetic interests--family, ethny, and the
species as a whole. The synthesis is persuasive; the policy
formulations provocative.---IrenOus Eibl-Eibesfeldt, Max Planck
Society -Five stars for Salter--he has provided us with a deep and
compelling explanation of what most people know and what guides
much of their behavior, but fear to acknowledge publicly.---Michael
T. McGuire, UCLA -We are indeed all part of each other, as John
Donne insisted even before the help of evolutionary genetics. But
we are more part of some than others, and the nature of these
boundaries of ethnic kinship has been ignored, avoided or denied.
After Salters virtuoso synthesis we can no longer duck these issues
which become more important daily.---Robin Fox, Rutgers
University
