Bob McCubbin is a lifelong revolutionary activist, Socialist Unity Party member and author of the book, “The Social Evolution of Humanity: Marx and Engels were right!” This study of the evolution of humanity focuses on human social/sexual relations and, in particular, the changing social status of women. It offers a selection of scientific evidence that updates and augments the viewpoint expressed in Frederick Engels’ masterful work, “Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State.”

McCubbin is also the author of “Roots of Lesbian and Gay Oppression: A Marxist View.” First published in 1976, during the first wave of the modern LGBTQ2S movement, McCubbin’s unparalleled achievement was to offer a historical analysis of when, where, why and how LGBTQ2S oppression developed.
