Barash investigates whether there is a basic human nature hidden behind culture or whether culture makes us adaptable to any society. He contrasts biological evolution (the tortoise) with cultural evolution (the hare): the relationship between the two illuminates sexuality, family, aggressiveness, and other traits of behavior.
