Genotype and Phenotype
Genotype refers to the actual DNA at given locations (loci) on chromosomes. Phenotype refers to observable traits in either physical appearance or behavior. Phenotypes reflect the interaction between genotype and environment as well as the effect of genes on each other. Genotype and phenotype may be concordant, but frequently are not. Understanding the relationship between genotype and phenotype is crucial to addressing the central problem in hum…
Sociobiology
E. O. Wilson's Sociobiology: The New Synthesis (1975) and Richard Dawkins's The Selfish Gene (1976) marked a paradigm shift in behavioral biology and the social sciences. Sociobiology made the gene the basic unit of natural selection and “kin selection” or nepotism between close relatives the main source of sociality. It offered an elegant model for explaining both the similarities and the differences in the entire range of animal societies, from…
Colour vs. race
The central thesis of Banton, and, indeed, his central contribution to the study of race and ethnicity, is his individual reductionism: ‘the differentiation of individuals should precede the differ
Race (Racism)
The term “racism” widely entered the social science vocabulary in the 1930s, as part of the Boasian reaction against the social Darwinism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Ruth Benedict, a student of Franz Boas, was one of the prominent early users. By the 1950s and 1960s, a broad consensus developed as to what racism meant, namely, an attitude or theory that some human groups, socially defined by biological descent and physic…

Multicultural democracy
After differentiating multicultural democracy (MD) from other types of democracy (liberal, consociational, ethnic and Herrenvolk), this article explores both the conditions favouring MD and the problems it faces. The main obstacle to MD is the model of the ‘nation–state’, which has been the basis of legitimacy in most liberal democracies since the French Revolution. Multiculturalism has existed in many non–democratic states (such as colonial and …

Bureaucracy and Race
Individualism and the Unity of Science
In this original and important book, Harold Kincaid defends a view of the special sciences-all sciences outside physics-as autonomous and nonreducible. He argues that the biological and social sciences provide explanations that cannot be captured by explanations at the level of their constituent parts, and yet that this does not commit us to mysterious, nonphysical entitites like vital forces or group minds. A look at real scientific practice sho…
Rehabilitating stereotypes
Whereas the conventional social science approach to the study of stereotypes has been both moralizing and psychologizing, the view presented here is that stereotypes are mostly opportunistic guides to action in situations of imperfect information. Stereotypes may sometimes express deep-seated prejudices, but, for most people most of the time, they merely reflect the necessity to make better-than-random decisions at minimum information cost, often…

Does Race Matter
This essay contends that behaviour can only be understood within an evolutionary framework that gives equal weight to genes and environment. Our cultural environment itself evolved, in part through natural selection of genes and in part through other mechanisms. Racism, however, involves association of genetically caused differences in physical appearance with characteristics to which they are wholly unrelated. Yet this association has a biologic…

Inclusive Fitness and Human Family Structure
The implications of sociobiology, and especially of "inclusive fitness" or "kin-selection" theory, to human family structures are explored. Kin-selection theory provides a model to formulate testable hypotheses predicting cooperation and conflict for categories of kinsmen; it also suggests an alternative way of looking at incest, endogamy, exogamy, rule of descent, and type of marriage in terms of such biological concepts as mating strategies, in…
Dialectic and Functionalism
This paper tries to show that both functionalism and the Hegelian-Marxian dialectic present one-sided, but complementary and reconcilable, views of society. The basic postulates of functionalism and the dialectic reveal strengths and limitations which suggest a reformulation of both approaches in minimal form. Basically, the problem is to arrive at a theory of society that achieves an adequate balance between stability and the various sources of …
South Africa, A Study in Conflict
The author is a very sophisticated sociologist. He recognizes that no society--and certainly no complex society-is governed by a single determining force and that no complex society can be characterized in terms of any one feature of social structure. South Africa is at one and the same time a highly industrialized and a backward and impoverished rural society (a combination of characteristics which it shares with Italy, for example); like some o…

Why most sociologists don't (and won't) think evolutionarily
The general failure of sociologists to understand, much less accept, an evolutionary perspective on human behavior transcends mere ignorance and ideological bias, although it incorporates a good deal of both. It also includes a general anthropocentric discomfort with evolutionary thinking, a self-interested resistance to self-understanding, and a trained sociological incapacity to accept the fundamental canons of scientific theory construction: r…

Royal incest and inclusive fitness
Royal incest (mostly brother-sister; less commonly father-daughter) represents the logical extreme of hypergyny. Women in stratified societies maximize fitness by marrying up; the higher the status of a woman, the narrower her range of prospective husbands. This leads to a direct association between high status and inbreeding. Royal incest is a fitness maximizing strategy if the following conditions are met: polygyny, patrilineal succession, and …

Paternalism, Patronage, and Potlatch
The intention of this article is to call anthropologists' attention to some of the theoretical and applied implications of paternalism and to report findings from field research on this question. Having defined paternalism as interference with another's autonomy justified in terms of the wish to benefit him, the article focusses on state (or bureaucratic) paternalism. Its principal concern is the effect of paternalism on corporate groups and cate…
