From the reviews: "All knowledge of the individual is located in the genome, argues Heschl. With such a radicality he goes much further than many other researchers like Richard Dawkins, the advocate of the selfish gene." Frankfurter Allgemeine, translated from issue June 17, 1998. "We cannot exclude the possibility that Heschl is simply right." Josef H. Reichholf, translated from "Psychologie heute" (July 1999) "I basically agree with Heschl's theses." Manfred Eigen, translated from a personal letter to the author (Nov. 1999) "Written by a trained ethologist and genetic epistemologist, and translated from the 1998 German original, The Intelligent Genome highlights how little we know about the genetic determination of human behaviour. … Although a very intense text, readers of this book may be drawn from various disciplines … . A rich source of bibliography and widely drawn quotes from famous philosophers and scientists, the book can also be a good research resource and reference book for any library collection." (Harjeet Khanna, Today’s Life Science, Vol. 14 (5), 2002) "Burying the myth of the human miracle, the author Adolf Heschl goes beyond any known theories. … In a clear-cut scientific approach, Heschl claims that intelligence, although individually shaped throughout life, already pre-exists in the genome. … The author analyses theories of scientists such as Darwin, Lamarck or Weisman, at the same time taking a highly critical look at his own point of view. Following the road of mankind, the reader is taken on both an ambitious and entertaining journey." (Science in Africa, March, 2002)
Biological evolution works according to the simple principle of differential reproduction: the varying rate of procreation of autonomous individuals. For this purpose, the necessary variation in the "equipment" of different individuals is derived from random changes, the genetic mutations of the underlying hereditary information. The present book documents for the first time that — and in particular why — this simple principle is also unreservedly applicable to the human species. The result is a picture of human evolution which says that even our individual knowledge is determined down to the smallest detail by phylogeny. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
