Please, everyone who has an opinion on gender disparities in the workplace, read Stephanie Coontz's The Way We Never Were. It is very enlightening https://t.co/LJkByRCf31

Book Review: Reckoning with Slavery: Gender, Kinship, and Capitalism in the Early Black Atlantic - "Eliminating kinship was an elemental step toward commodifying Africans & assuming control over their heredity and reproduction" https://t.co/XduIW2oVuk

“The first Population Association of America president, Henry Pratt Fairchild, was devoted to two causes: (1) the promotion of birth control, and (2) severe restrictions on immigration to preserve ethnic homogeneity in the UnitedStates” https://t.co/PLxCSiJgRv

@psiphi_gavagai Yes, first I'd recommend NOT reading Moreland's books, as his work is not good. Far better books to read include: Hans Rosling's Factfulness Vegard Skirbekk's Decline and Prosper Jade Sasser's On Infertile Ground Dorling & Gietel-Basten's Why Demography Matters

Book Review: Birthing the West: Mothers and Midwives in the Rockies and Plains by Jennifer Hill - "Using personal letters, interviews & journals, Hill maps a unique reciprocal economy that existed among settler women...to safely give birth and recover" https://t.co/VyXQyBxto1

Finally got round to reading Misbehaving Science: Controversy and the Development of Behavior Genetics. One chapter in and I’m already convinced it should be essential reading for all evolutionary behavioural scientists https://t.co/2ijTwN8rAw

@_alice_evans Sarah Hrdy's Mother Nature is great on how motherhood & 'mother love' is contingent on circumstances in our species (but she still writes within an evolutionary framework)
