"The Caveman Mystique will rank among the most forceful attacks on pseudoscience in our times."
—Steve Fuller, University of Warwick
Author, The New Sociological Imagination
"The Caveman Mystique sits at the intersection of feminism, cultural studies, science studies, and sociology of the body. As such, it would be an excellent monograph to assign in a class addressing any of these or their intersections. More generally, HBE logic, whether we want it to or not, infuses all of our classrooms. In this sense, we all have an opportunity to question "the [exclusive] right of scientists to comment on complex cultural practices" (p. 128) and to insist on the importance of feminist sociological contributions. For anyone who desires to do so, this book is an excellent way to catch up on the politics and poetics of this compelling and pervasive mythology." -- Lisa Wade, Gender and Society, April 2008
This book tells the story of evolutionary theory’s influence on popular ideas of masculinity, addressing sexual competition, scientific and psychological explanations of homosexuality, rape, and the establishment of gender binaries in popular culture.
