Vespeiros da razão: perspectivas para um diálogo entre as ciências biológicas e as ciências sociais

Abstract

Ever since Darwin published The origin of species, in 1859, natural and social scientists have been arguing about the possibility of constructing a bridge between biological and social sciences. The aim of this article is to shed light on some of these approaches in order to comprehend and explain some aspects of human behavior. Although such an issue is very controversial, mainly in a political perspective, in recent decades scientists have developed assayable models demonstrating the necessity of genetic systems, to equate certain interest conflicts that appear in variable forms of social interactions.
