Sociobiology

by E.O. Wilson

Originally published as «Sociobiology: The New Synthesis», Harvard University Press

When this classic was first published in 1975, it created a new discipline and started a tumultuous round in the nature versus nurture debate. In the introduction to this edition, Wilson shows how research in human genetics and neuroscience over the past quarter of a century has strengthened the case for a biological understanding of human nature.
