Chronicle To Books On Human Nature

No one who cares about the human future can afford to ignore E.O. Wilson's book. On Human Nature begins a new phase in the most important intellectual controversy of this generation: Is human behavior controlled by the species' biological heritage? Does this heritage limit human destiny?

With characteristic pugency and simplicity of style, the author of Sociobiology challenges old prejudices and current misconceptions about the nature-nurture debate.

In his new preface E. O. Wilson reflects on how he came to write this book: how The Insect Societies led him to write Sociobiology, and how the political and religious uproar that engulfed that book persuaded him to write another book that would better explain the relevance of biology to the understanding of human behavior.

Judge Out Of Books On Human Nature

seminal book on sociobiology and a must-read for anyone interested in applying evolution to human behavior if only as a corollary to a more recent understanding of evolutionary psychology. Since the publishing of this book, sociobiology has been divided up into human behavioral ecology, evolutionary psychology, cultural evolution, and gene-culture coevolution. For a recent overview of the theories and recent findings, I suggest reading "Sense and Nonsense: Evolutionary perspectives on human

No time for a proper review, and to be honest, I don't even know what I could say. This book was very informative, but maybe a little bit outdated since the field of sociobiology has gone a long way since its inception when this book was written. I had that in mind when I picked this book up so I'm not going to hold that against it, what I'm going to hold against it is the writing. It was a mixed bag, while it had moments when it was fascinating and it kept me interested, there were so many

Once one of my friends told me: by readnig this book you see how wise this man (E.O.Wilson) is... well, he was right about it.

Lemuel Gulliver made his famous evaluation of humanity after observing little people, big people, nonsentient people and sentient horses. Little people, big people and nonsentient people still being people, and horses being mammals, his reference points were not very far removed from Homo Sapiens. Edward Wilson is an entomologist specializing in ants, social animals that are as different from humans as any on Earth (coral polyps are even more different, but they are not very behaviorally

This book is both captivating and refreshingly honest, and I'm pretty embarrassed that it has taken me so long to read it. Wilson is happy to admit that "scientific materialism" is a myth, on a par with religion and Marxism--the three main myths he concerns himself with in the book. In the end, he simply thinks that it is a better myth, one more likely to be vindicated in the ultimate analysis. But he recognizes that it is far from vindicated, nor does he envision such work will be easy or soon

EO Wilson has his moments of obsequiousness, but his ability to calmly state and explain strong signposts of human beings is staggeringly impressive. Especially since this book was written in the 70s. He's definitely a scientist father figure for me. I want to read his ant books.
