Following his highly praised and bestselling book Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters, Matt Ridley has written a brilliant and profound book about the roots of human behavior. Nature via Nurture explores the complex and endlessly intriguing question of what makes us who we are. </p>
In February 2001 it was announced that the human genome contains not 100,000 genes, as originally postulated, but only 30,000. This startling revision led some scientists to conclude that there are simply not enough human genes to account for all the different ways people behave: we must be made by nurture, not nature. Yet again biology was to be stretched on the Procrustean bed of the nature-nurture debate. Matt Ridley argues that the emerging truth is far more interesting than this myth. Nurture depends on genes, too, and genes need nurture. Genes not only predetermine the broad structure of the brain, they also absorb formative experiences, react to social cues, and even run memory. They are consequences as well as causes of the will. </p>
Published fifty years after the discovery of the double helix of DNA, Nature via Nurture chronicles a revolution in our understanding of genes. Ridley recounts the hundred years' war between the partisans of nature and nurture to explain how this paradoxical creature, the human being, can be simultaneously free-willed and motivated by instinct and culture. Nature via Nurture is an enthralling,up-to-the-minute account of how genes build brains to absorb experience. </p>

評分先天後天這本書人讓我整個人的思路不是一點半點的受到衝擊,一開始我覺得像這樣的問題就像爭論一些有爭議的政治問題一樣人不會脫離自己的名族和立場去看待,所以簡直想想就覺得理不清楚。 真的往下看下去時,心裏産生瞭一種奇怪的想法,欸?這不是有一種機器人讀《微機原理》...

怎麼能辣麼有趣!無論專業相不相關都推薦一讀。貌似有中譯本,雖然沒讀過。。

評分至今讀過的Matt Ridley的書,趣味性、知識性、文字性和啓發性都非常高。不過他有時會有過多闡述政治觀點的傾嚮。
