...human culture makes no sense. Indeed, sociobiology has significant implications for most areas of human concern?from education to relations between the sexes. Says Harvard Physicist Gerald Holton: "It's a breathtaking ambition . . . as if Sigmund Freud had set out to subsume all of Darwin, Joyce, Einstein, Whitehead and Lenin." Robert Trivers, a Harvard biologist and leading sociobiology theorist, makes a bold prediction: "Sooner or later, political science, law, economics, psychology, psychiatry and anthropology will all be branches of sociobiology...

Before Lenin died and the hand of Stalin squashed experimental art like a bug, the link between "revolutionary" art and revolutionary politics in Russia was closer than it has ever been in the West. The idealist abstract order of works like Lissitzky's Proun, 1919, was deeply connected to social visions of Utopia: when Tallin designed his extraordinary spiral tower as a monument of the revolulion, there was no doubt in his mind...
