From the 1970s on there has been renewed interest in biological determinist theories for explaining human behaviour and the structure of human societies. These theories have been applied to race, class and sex in that natural selection is postulated to have selected for genetic differences between blacks and whites, men and women and different social classes (Rose and Rose, 1976; Lewontin et al., 1984).
