Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the life history evolution framework to explain societal changes in America, as predicted by Charles Murray. It examines how shifts in college admissions, government incentives, and migration patterns have led to divisions in marriage, industriousness, and religiosity over the past 50 years. The author links social issues like crime, low marriage rates, and poverty to evolutionary responses to unpredictable mortality. Additionally, it discusses elite intermarriage and its implications on policy and demographics, providing a biological perspective on societal trends.
