I stumbled onto an interesting book
Dark Ages: The Case for a Science of Human Behavior
by Lee McIntyre
it spins its wheels a bunch on justifying its existence, but it does attempt to swat back the recent dogma of Political Correctness, Religion, etc of stopping the scientific study of social science/behavior.
was published in 2006... with how big the PC wave has grown since then, I am fearful if the writer hung himself by now
