Sarah Hrdy:
If a primatologist instead of a politician were president, it's likely that Joycelyn Elders, ex-Surgeon General of the United States, would have been given a medal rather than fired. The immediate impetus for the surgeon general's dismissal was her public comments to the effect that sex education and alternative outlets for libido (such as masturbation) would be preferable to early, unprotected intercourse by teenage girls who are fertile at the unprecedented age of thirteen. I agree.
Hrdy, in my opinion, is the most brilliant sociobiologist.
