Examines the search for biological explanations of human behavior, arguing that they would have to be evolutionary to demonstrate how specific genes cause different behavior in humans than in other animals. They would also have to show that typical human behaviors are detectable alterations of behavioral traits in other organisms & therefore the result of natural selection. Two evolutionary arguments for human social behavior are examined: sociobiology & evolutionary psychology. Although still used by some social scientists, sociobiology has been firmly dismissed by biologists. The more general adaptationist theory of evolutionary psychology relies on the existence of a complex functional organization that was never fully identified. It is argued that the impetus driving the search for evolutionary biology is the desire to apply the structure of evolution by natural selection to every aspect of living organisms, thereby giving science the ultimate legitimation. To be successful, these theories must conform to the extreme reductionism of molecular biology, which would negate their validity as social theories. J. Lindroth
