Are We Prisoners of
our Genes?
The
argument that
our behaviour is determined by our physical inheritance may pose as
science, but in reality
it is a socially
determined prejudice used as part of a crude political ideology.
Faced with
such objections to socialism, the first thing that needs to be
done is to
clarify what is going to be meant by the term `human nature'.
