QUOTABLE:
Roger D. Masters
“In comprehensive cost-benefit analyses of chemicals in our environment, behavioral harm may often be more costly or more widespread than cancer and other mortal diseases. As neuroscientists and evolutionary psychologists unravel biological factors in human social behavior, scientists and policymakers in other fields can no longer ignore the costs of learning disabilities, substance abuse, or criminal behaviors that have often proven resistant to traditional treatments or governmental policies based on sociological and economic theories of behavior.”
Roger D. Masters, in
“The social implications of evolutionary psychology: linking brain biochemistry,
toxins, and violent crime,” in

Policymakers and Public Policy Advocates,
