Blowing the whistle on a shocking conspiracy of silence within the scientific community, "Born Cannibal" will anger and horrify many. The modern Darwinian era began in 1966 when George C. Williams showed us that natural selection acts at the level of the gene. And yet it has taken four decades for any Darwinian to have the courage to openly apply gene-level selection to the human animal. The results are startling. 'Man is born a cannibal. Human isn't something we are born, it is something we become'. This knowledge has been circulating within the scientific establishment for 30 years, but has never before been disclosed to the general public.

Instead, scientists have deliberately allowed an heretical interpretation of Darwinian theory -- known as evolutionary psychology -- to be propagated through the media. As the author writes in his Introduction: 'This is the tale of how Darwin was betrayed by his friends, as well as by his enemies'. Passionate and wittily iconoclastic, "Born Cannibal" pulls back the curtain on scientific impartiality to reveal a Machiavellian world of fear, ego and ideology. The front cover illustration is by graphic supremo Alan Aldridge. Alan's clever reworking of the millennia-old Ouroboros archetype so perfectly summarises the running theme of "Born Cannibal". An image that has been used since time immemorial to represent the totality of nature here reminds readers that, contrary to the teachings of the evolutionary psychologists, man carries the genetic code of the rest of nature.
