About this product

Product Information

This book attempts to understand an ancient people in terms of modern evolutionary biology. A basic idea is that Judaism is a group evolutionary strategy-what one might term an evolutionarily significant way for a group of people to get on in the world. The book documents several theoretically interesting aspects of group evolutionary strategies using Judaism as a case study. These topics include the theory of group evolutionary strategies, the genetic cohesion of Judaism, how Jews managed to erect and enforce barriers to gene flow between themselves and other peoples, resource competition between Jews and non-Jews, how Jews managed to have a high level of charity within their communities and at the same time prevented free-riding, how some groups of Jews came to have such high IQ's, and how Judaism developed in antiquity. This book was originally published in 1994 by Praeger Publishers. The Writers Club edition contains a new preface, Diaspora Peoples, describing several interesting group evolutionary strategies: The Gypsies, the Hutterites and Amish, the Calvinists and Puritans, and the Overseas Chinese.

A fascinating scholarly treatise on the Jewish Question
The book is a very good and interesting read. I haven't read much of it so far, but I can tell it is a highly worthy investment. It is far from "hatefully" written; it is very objectively written, most often, if not always, not letting personal "bias" of any sort get in the way. It is very informative for people who are looking for insight on the nature of Judaism. Those not deeply in tune with the JQ will find more than their fair share of a good introduction to it as he often quotes directly from the Talmud and Old Testament in the introductions to chapters. It is a book written by a professional scholar, so there is a good deal of "specialized" language; learning some of the key words one might not know will make it much easier for them to read it. The JQ is a massive question that can be covered by genius minds in all fields. Kevin MacDonald's evolutionary psychology trilogy functions as three of many works among the most brilliant examiners of the Question. It is a question best suited for examination by the brilliant and the brave.Read full review
