Why the Left should disavow The Theory of Evolution and the Right should love it!
Why the Left should disavow The Theory of Evolution and the Right should love it!
The current debate on how to overhaul the American health care system assumes that a healthy society depends on good medical care. So it may come as a shock to learn that controversially medical care does not make a society healthier and actually does just the opposite! Like the Freakonomics books Monkeys examines common issues in uncommon ways and discusses the unexpected unintended and even paradoxical consequences of various social policies. As the title indicates this book attempts to show how ironic it is that the proposed social policies of the Left are in conflict with evolution and how the beliefs of the Right are not so different from what evolution teaches us about how life and societies evolve. Monkeys on Our Backs may cause controversy or even rage but it is sure to be read and discussed.

Such a relevant a topical book based on the juxtaposition of the liberal and conservative thinkers of our day .
A really thought provoking book that has left me asking more questions as a result of reading it . . . which is probably exactly what the author intended . I’d recommend this for all ages and because it’s easy to read with many sub headings per chapter making it reader friendly. I believe it would be an ideal taking book to tackle for our secondary school pupils studying sociology, politics or even just citizenship because its thought provoking and unbiased.
Tokumei's book is a provocative study of the debate over the moral and political implications of Darwinian science. ~ Larry Arnhart, Presidential Research Professor of Political Science, Northern Illinois University, author of Darwinian Conservatism
Richard Tokumei asks all the right questions and as far as I am concerned provides all the right answers. At the very least his book should serve to remind us that these days there is nothing so rare as common sense. ~ Burt Prelutsky, Author of Liberals: America's Termites
