Science for the People cites the recent exploitation of sociobiology by certain neo-fascist groups in Europe as validation for their claims and substantiation of their predictions about the nature and dangers of sociobiology.

Curiously, Olam is the most well-characterized of the three, revealing touches of peevishness that are the only human moments in the book...
Wanagi, the tribal seer, watches over the two boys. Nothing surprises him; he knows everything that will happen before it happens. He knows that the bond between Ahbleza and Tonweya is sacred. He also knows that Ahbleza is destined for great things. He duty is to prepare the boy-turning-man and the man-turning-leader for leadership, and to ready the tribe to accept...
