Rethinking the Theoretical Foundation of Sociobiology
Current sociobiology is in theoretical disarray, with a diversity of frameworks that are poorly related to each other Part of the problem is a reluctance to revisit the pivotal events that took place during the 1960s, including the rejection of group selection and the development of alternative theoretical frameworks to explain the evolution of cooperative and altruistic behaviors. In this article, we take a "back to basics" approach, explaining …

Kin Selection as the Key to Altruism
Edward O. Wilson Kin Selection as the Key to Altruism: Its Rise and Fall ONE OF THE ENDURING UNSETTLED ISSUES OF EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY is the paradox of collateral altruistic behavior—that is, when some individuals subordinate their own interests and those of their immedi ate offspring in order to serve the interests of a larger group beyond offspring (Wilson, 1975). How might such behavior evolve if the genes promoting it are at such a disadvant…

Sociobiology
Edward O. Wilson's Sociobiology: The New Synthesis, Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Edition is a landmark work in the field of sociobiology. This edition revisits and expands upon Wilson's original 1975 publication, which synthesized a vast body of knowledge from ethology, ecology, and population biology to explore the biological basis of social behavior in animals, including humans. The book argues that social behaviors, from altruism to aggression, ar…

The case for consilience
Science and ideology
I have composed this text with considerable humility because it is addressed to scholars and scientists many of whom speak more authoritatively on the history and philosophy of science than I. My own preferred reading list on the subject would include Gerald Holton's Science and AntiScience and the wonderfully scorching book, Higher Superstition, by Paul Gross and Norman Levitt. For a full reading list that could compose a complete college course…

Biophilia
Biophilia is Edward O. Wilson’s most personal book, an evocation of his own response to nature and an eloquent statement of the conservation ethic. Wilson argues that our natural affinity for life—biophilia—is the very essence of our humanity and binds us to all other living things.

Incest Avoidance as a Function of Environment and Heredity [and Comments and Reply]
Although it has repeatedly been demonstrated that behavior is best understood as a function of the interrelatedness of nature and nurture, many social scientists persist in posing these determinants adversatively and then contend that genes and biology are, at best, minor determinants of behavior. Analysis in incest avoidance illustrates the inadequacy of efforts to reduce to irrelevance genetic determinants. Man and many other species exhibit st…

Some central problems of sociobiology
Competitive and aggressive behavior
The current popularity of animal behaviorists comes in good part from the comfort and assurance their discoveries offer to humanity. It is, after all, comforting to think that our sins are only animal sins (original sin if you wish) and that we are no more than naked apes momentarily disoriented by our jerry-built civilization. We want to believe that the beastliness in human nature is beastliness in the primordial sense and not some dark angelic…
