This volume explores the linkage of the life sciences with policy (biopolicy). It features two points of departure: the implications of the neurosciences for public policy, and the implications of evolutionary theory for policy-making. It includes several case studies of how these points of departure inform our knowledge of policy.

The study of biology and politics examines the linkage between the life sciences (broadly defined) and politics. Among biological areas from which these linkages are drawn include: human ethology, socio-biology, ethology, genetics, evolutionary theory, neurosciences, biotechnology, and, bioethics, amongst others. These knowledge arenas are used to illuminate policy choices (biopolicy), political behaviour, leadership behaviour, international p...

Consequently, the possibility that our behavior is genetically influenced is often ignored. The advocates of a "more biologically oriented" approach are attempting, in effect, an intellectual revolution. Part I of this volume examines, discipline by discipline, the history of the evolutionary thrust, leading figures and key literature, the degree of acceptance (or rejection) within each discipline, and the likely future prospects. Part II disc...
