Biological determinism is a " straw man " argument and sociology is the social science that is most disconnected from reality. No real scientists hold any such determinist position, but any time evolutionary processes, genetics, or any other biological influence on human society is even mentioned you have social constructionist in sociology go a little to a lot crazy.
About six months ago Nature did a survey on how scientists felt about working with social scientists. As could be expected, sociology was at the top of the shun it list. Clean that post modern, relativistic, social constructionist nonsense out of sociology and perhaps the discipline will be taken as seriously as a social science discipline can be taken.
