We forget biology: Sexual disputes in the garden of ideas — by Adolf Tobeña (Spanish edition)

Olvidamos la biología: Litigios sexuales en el jardín de las ideas by Adolf Tobeña is a thought-provoking scientific essay that reconnects readers with the biological foundations of human behavior. In an era dominated by ideological debates and social polarization, Tobeña challenges the growing tendency to overlook the role of our nervous system, genetic makeup, and brain structures in shaping emotions, decisions, and cultural norms.

Written with clarity and intellectual rigor, this book navigates subjects often discussed in abstract social and political terms — such as empathy, aggression, cooperation, and education — but reframes them through a biological lens. Tobeña brings decades of expertise in neuroscience and psychiatry to the forefront, arguing that understanding the biological underpinnings of human life enriches our perspective on current social issues and personal interactions. 

Readers will find Olvidamos la biología essential for anyone interested in science, psychology, sociology, and the intersection between biology and culture. It serves as both an introduction to biological thinking for general audiences and a meaningful contribution to contemporary debates on human nature, cognition, and society. Insightful, accessible, and intellectually stimulating, this book reasserts the importance of biology in the garden of modern ideas.
