About the Book

A daring expose' on how our genes shape our personality and.…pull the strings on our actions, all part of a dark conspiracy that results in a myriad of dilemmas in modern multi-racial/multi-cultural societies. An intriguing and controversial new theory of human behavior, based solely on a axiom the author calls Genes and the Survival Principle(GSP). The theory is developed via Socratic-style, pointed discourses which lead to gripping and often humorous explanations of religiosity, homosexuality, racism , violence, sexual aberrations, phobias, death, and other human quirks or idiosyncrasies.
