  • "Frank Ryan puts forward an entirely new proposition which counters the belief in the development of human society being entirely based on the survival of the fittest. He explains that human society is a labyrinth of cooperation which does not fit with Darwin's neat theory of evolution, which we have been brainwashed into believing up until now. And the author's ideas certainly don't fit with the perversions of Social Darwinism. He believes that the truth is an amalgamation of Darwinism and symbiosis. That we do not survive on competition alone - but we also require cooperation to ensure our development as a species. Ryan also gives a new perspective on Gaia theory, showing how diffuse symbioses, such as the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between plants and animals, play an integral part in the interactions between inanimate nature and the great cycles of life.Darwin's Blind Spot brings to a wide audience a broader understanding of evolution and who we are. It takes into account not only interactions between species but also cooperation within species and is set to introduce a much needed sense of balance into our understanding of these highly controversial aspects of human society and psychosexual behaviour."
