I'm currently reading Steven Pinker's How the Mind Works and I've read some of The Blank Slate and in both books he describes the reaction that Biologists who relate Genetics or Evolutionary Biology to mental traits recieve. He kind of sounds like he might be exagerating or being over simplistic. Does anyone here have a basic understanding of what has happend and what the current state is.

Sounds like he has upset all the right people.
