Monkeys on Our Backs
Why Conservatives and Liberals are Both Wrong About Evolution
Synopsis
The current debate on how to overhaul the American health care system assumes that a healthy society depends on good medical care. So it may come as a shock to learn that controversially medical care does not make a society healthier and actually does just the opposite! Like the Freakonomics books Monkeys examines common issues in uncommon ways and discusses the unexpected unintended and even paradoxical consequences of various social policies. As the title indicates this book attempts to show how ironic it is that the proposed social policies of the Left are in conflict with evolution and how the beliefs of the Right are not so different from what evolution teaches us about how life and societies evolve. Monkeys on Our Backs may cause controversy or even rage but it is sure to be read and discussed.

What Reviewers Are Saying
Tokumei's book is a provocative study of the debate over the moral and political implications of Darwinian science. (Larry Arnhart, Presidential Research Professor of Political Science, Northern Illinois University, author of Darwinian Conservatism) Richard Tokumei asks all the right questions and as far as I am concerned provides all the right answers. At the very least his book should serve to remind us that these days there is nothing so rare as common sense. (Burt Prelutsky, Author of Liberals: America's Termites)
