		Alcock's case studies on female beauty and genocide may, in the eyes of some, lend credence to the charge by popular writer Stephen Jay Gould that sociobiologists tell "just-so stories." But, as Alcock also argues, if sociobiology is to be dismissed out of hand, let it be through hypothesis and experiment, not hysteria and censorship.
		Alcock exhibits skill and patience in both demonstrating the errors in reasoning in politically-motivated attacks on sociobiology, and showing that sociobiology is in fact neither hostile to nor partial to any particular political position.
		Alcock recounts one case in which an admittedly tentative field study was the target of Gould's vituperation.
