From the Back Cover: " In this monumental intellectual biography, Dr. Frank Sulloway demonstrates that Freud always remained, despite his denials, a 'biologist of the mind,' and, indeed, that his most creative inspirations derived significantly from biology. Dr. Sulloway analyzes the political aspects of the complex myth of Freud as 'psychoanalytic hero' as it served to consolidate the psychoanalytic movement. This is a revolutionary reassessment of Freud and psychoanalysis that has generated considerable excitement both here and abroad."

In his radical reassessment of Freud and psychoanalysis, Sulloway demonstrates how Freud, strongly influenced by Darwinian biology and the research of Wilhelm Fliess, substituted an evolutionary for a physiological model of the mind

Born to Rebel: Birth Order, Family Dynamics, and Creative Lives

A landmark work that illuminates the crucial influence of birth order on personality and the far-reaching consequences of sibling competition--not only within individual families but on society as a whole. At the heart of this pioneering inquiry is a fundamental insight into human behavior: that the personalities of first-born children differ from those of their younger siblings not because of cultural differences but because common human instincts play themselves out differently in the universal quest for parental favor. Frank Sulloway's most important finding--that eldest children support the status quo and youngest children rebel against it--provides the foundation for startling analyses of the Protestant Reformation, the French Revolution, and Darwin's theory of evolution. Concerning first borns--Did you know that: First borns are more frequently defenders of the status quo, more accepting of parental or conventional values. In their support of authority they will use either brains or violence to resolve conflict. More first borns--Albert Einstein, Ivan Pavlov, Linus Pauling--are Nobel Laureates. First borns--like Stalin, Robespierre, and Carlos the Jackal--will not shy away from tactics of terrorism. Concerning later-borns--Did you know that: Most later-borns more frequently turn over convention and champion reform, revolution and upheaval. Later-borns have been the catalysts of change supporting free speech, free worship, civil rights and women's rights. They are the creators of revolutionary ideas--Voltaire, Rousseau, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson-- were all later-borns. Those who pressed for the absolution of slavery--Frederick Douglass, John Brown and Harriet Tubman--were all later-borns. Born to Rebel is a path-breaking study, a solid confirmation of the belief that a scientific, empirical basis exists for our understanding of human behavior.

Review\nDarwin Bear may often be stuffed with blueberries, but he is never stuffy in talking about his colleague Charles Darwin and the science behind species and environment. This is the ultimate guide to take on a voyage of your own Beagle. — Amy Tan, author of The Joy Luck Club and The Bonesetter’s Daughter\nThis work, coming from Frank Sulloway, is highly original, and it deserves wide attention. I wish him and the bears, and the ghost of Darwin, wide success. — Edward O. Wilson, two-time Pulitzer Prize–winning author, evolutionary biologist, and conservationist\nFrom so simple a beginning, this most beautiful and wonderful book on evolution reveals the grandeur in this view of life, while also filling a vital educational niche. — Michael Shermer, Publisher Skeptic magazine, Scientific American columnist, and author of Why Darwin Matters and In Darwin’s Shadow\nFrank Sulloway’s revisionist description, in absolutely charming text and drawings, will set you thinking and will bring a persistent smile to your face as you read this wonderful book. — Roald Hoffmann, poet, playwright, and Nobel Prize–winning chemist\nLet Frank Sulloway’s delightful fantasy of talking bears lead you through the story of Charles Darwin’s visit to the Galápagos Islands and the development of his evolutionary theory. These sixteen bears know everything there is to know! — Janet Browne, past president of the History of Science Society, and author of award-winning Charles Darwin: A Biography 
Darwin and His Bears is delicious! It is funny, sarcastic at times, includes good science, describes how to do science, and is appropriately argumentative in places. Where else can you read about island geography, the evolution of species, survival of the fattest, psicko-analysis, and tortoise racing in the same book? Extraordinarily clever. — Louis A. Sherman, Fellow of the American Society of Microbiology and of AAAS; Professor, Purdue University Department of Biological Sciences\nWhen Charles Darwin first stepped off the HMS Beagle and into the harsh and formidable world of the Galápagos islands with their sun-baked lava, spiny cactus, and tangled brushwood, he encountered many birds and animals new to him. He marveled at the remarkable tameness of the birds and the striking dominance of reptiles in these islands, which made the archipelago seem like a journey back in time. On the shoreline were swarms of “hideous-looking” marine iguanas — the world’s only oceangoing lizards. On land, Darwin and the Beagle crew encountered large land iguanas, closely allied to their marine cousin; several smaller lizards and snakes; and giant land tortoises, after which the islands are named. 
How, Darwin asked himself, had life first come to these islands? Most of the life forms, he noted, were aboriginal creations, found nowhere else. Of all the creatures he encountered, none were as surprising and important to his studies as the Galápagos bears. 
In Darwin and His Bears, scientist and Darwin scholar Frank J. Sulloway reveals a crucial — yet little known — link that led to Darwin’s development of the theory of evolution: sixteen brilliant bears residing on the sixteen archipelago islands. Charles Darwin had an undeniable knack for asking the right questions, and these remarkable blueberry-loving bears had all the answers he needed. With their invaluable assistance, Darwin was able to reassess his imperfect evidence, ultimately culminating in what we now celebrate as the Darwinian revolution. 
Delightful and deeply informative, Darwin and His Bears recounts the fabled adventure of Darwin’s groundbreaking visit to “a shore fit for Pandemonium,” as Beagle Captain Robert FitzRoy described the Galápagos on their arrival in 1835. As Sulloway recounts this fascinating story, he also reveals the critical conceptual steps by which Darwin reached his theory of evolution by natural selection — and provides, according to philosopher Philip Kitcher, “a brilliant summar

Este interesante libro representa el primer estudio sistemático y de carácter científico acerca de la influencia que el orden en que nacen distintos hermanos podría tener en la conformación de su personalidad. El autor sostiene que los hermanos mayores se identifican con el poder y la autoridad, siendo además más conservadores y conformistas. En cambio, los hermanos menores serían más audaces, rebeldes e innovadores. La explicación de esta diferencia sería que mientras lo mayores se esfuerzan por conservar su status, los menores estarían más dispuestos a explorar para atraer la atención y el cariño de los padres. Analizando una secuencia histórica de importantes innovaciones científicas, que van desde la teoría heliocéntrica de Copérnico hasta la relatividad de Einstein, el autor concluye que siempre los grandes cambios han sido impulsados por los hermanos menores.
