I had heard a well-known anthropologist say ten years ago that human culture had eradicated cannibalism and would soon eradicate incest. Based on my court appearances in custody cases over the last thirty years, I think we are further behind on the incest than that academician would like to think. Partly due to the over-emphasis humans place on personal sexual satisfaction and titillation. Doesn't sound like cannibalism exists in that realm, thank God.

It definitely made me like him less as a person, since he seemed so chauvanistic. However, his story was interesting enough (minus the part in Mexico)that I still really enjoyed the book.
