A Troublesome Inheritance by Nicholas Wade.
I just finished reading it. In my opinion he fails to make his cockamamie case.
So what is his cockamamie case? You'd never know from reading the fashionable denunciations.
The book has three main points.
1) He is not a racist, really really really.
2) Reasonable but irrelevant refutation of extreme all-behavior-is-socially-constructed-ism.
3) His cockamamie case which he fails to make.
The cockamamie case is that the industrial revolution was able to happen due to behavioral genetic traits evolutionarily preadaptated by the natural selection of an agrarian society.
He cites various studies, but the whole thing suffers from excessive just-so-story-ism and extreme defensiveness.
Yes I know I have not just disproved anything.
