description | In The Social Cage, Alexandra Maryanski and Jonathan H. Turner challenge the widespread assumption that humans are by nature "social animals." They do so by examining the behavior of great apes, who, they conclude, prefer freedom and mobility over close social ties.

Despite weaknesses, mostly involving the ethnographic record and the assumption that men and women share the same natural desire for autonomy, the book is a valuable attempt to return a biological perspective to sociological analysis. |
