61. Alcock -- Triumph Of Sociobiology
    Triumph of sociobiology. James Alcock. Oxford University Press, 2001. (1) sociobiology is a novel and idiosyncratic theory of EO Wilson (chap. 1).

    Extractions: Triumph of Sociobiology James Alcock Oxford University Press, 2001 J ames Alcock's new book on the history and essentials of sociobiology is a well-written treat for people who have some familiarity with the subject but are intimidated by the jargon of the specialized journals. Reading 'Triumph' is not entirely a romp in the park, but the book is completely accessible to the layperson if you're willing to concentrate a bit when the explanations are necessarily technical. Even better, Alcock's credentials as the author of a major university text on animal behaviour give him the scientific and field research depth to add some colour and practical examples to a subject which can be intellectually very challenging. Alcock might be considered 'E.O. Wilson Lite' ... meant as a compliment to them both. Alcock's sights are set at a less grand scale than Wilson (see Consilience) but he nonetheless communicates sophisticated concepts clearly and effectively. Because sociobiology has been surrounded in controversy since the Seventies and has been associated primarily with E.O. Wilson, Alcock begins the book with a short list of myths about sociobiology and assigns particular chapters to answer those misperceptions.

    Extractions: Issue Date: 0.0.00 Print Friendly Email Article However respected the source, the criticism from this group has had little effect on the direction of scientific research: sociobiology is now firmly established as an accepted branch of normal science. As a result, liberal opinion about sociobiology has increasingly diverged from scientific opinion. If liberals are to understand why this has happened, they need to consider the possibility that Gould, Lewontin, and other prominent scientific critics were wrong in their attack on sociobiology in the first place. The Altruism Puzzle Current intrusions of Darwin's theory into our awareness stem from the mid-1960s, when the British geneticist W. D. Hamilton proposed a solution to the problem of altruism. For traditional social scientists who see societies as functioning organisms, the existence of altruism does not pose a problem. In this view, without altruism societies would not work; groups that lacked it would not survive. But this is no comfort to strict Darwinians, who see natural selection as operating at the level of individuals, even to the extent of disrupting the cohesiveness of societies. In their view, natural selection should have long since erased altruism. Hamilton's solution was that evolution selects for altruism if it is directed at relatives in proportion to their relatedness, for then the altruist's kin are more likely to survive to pass on the contributing genes. Thus kindnesses are instances of universal nepotism. Reciprocal altruism, proposed by Robert Trivers in the early 1970s, was a you-scratch-my-back-and-later-I'll-scratch-yours model. Like kin selection, it required no real genetic generosity, only delayed self-interest. With these ideas, biologists seemed to have little further need for the metaphor of society as organism.

It was first popularised in English by the American Myrmecologist William Morton Wheeler in 1902. An earlier, slightly different sense of the term was proposed by John Stuart Mill in his 1843 System of Logic . He recommended the development of a new science, "ethology," whose purpose would be the explanation of individual and national differences in character, on the basis of associationistic psychology. This use of the word was never adopted, however.

70. Boston Review | H. Allen Orr: The Softer Side Of Sociobiology
    The Softer Side of sociobiology. Why do people cooperate? It would be hard to exaggerate the significance of the TriversAxelrod-Hamilton work for sociobiology.  
    http://www.bostonreview.net/br22.5/orr.html
    
    Extractions: Viking Penguin, $24.95 If you've ever read Sinclair Lewis's Arrowsmith , you surely recall Dr. Tubbs. The ur -technocrat who understood precious little of the science done in the institute he ran, the vapid Tubbs would pop into a lab just long enough to announce that he was off to yet another conference on teamwork in science. For cooperation, he invariably added, was the next "Real Big Thing in Science." Tubbs was not only a believable character (in a novel desperately short of them), he was a prophetic one. The ratio of Tubbses to Arrowsmiths in science of technically clueless hangers-on to those who sit before a lab benchhas grown ever more lop-sided since Lewis's time. But Tubbs was prophetic in another way too. Cooperation, it seems, was the next Real Big Thing in Science. As it turns out, an army of evolutionary biologists, evolutionary psychologists, economists and political scientists have descended on the problem of why animalsand especially humanscooperate. And why not? To anyone schooled in modern evolutionary biology, cooperation must seem a bit puzzling. For decades now we've been told that genes are selfish and that we, as organisms, are mere "survival machines" created by relentlessly self-serving strands of DNA to ensure their own persistence. But if genes are so selfish, why aren't survival machines? Why do animals, and especially humans, so often work together? Why do we share food, tithe, hunt in groups, build hospitals, become priests, serve in armies, and preach a morality that emphasizes above all the importance of selflessness?

BIBLIOGRAPHIC RECORD The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. sociobiology controversial field that studies how natural selection, previously used only to explain the evolution of physical characteristics, shapes behavior in animals and humans. The theory has contributed to the understanding of certain evolutionary traits in the animal world, such as how instinctive parental behaviors of animals are determined in part by the need to ensure survival of offspring. A related aspect of sociobiology deals with altruistic behaviors in general. In a theory called kin selection, animals that behave altruistically would have their genes passed on by helping relatives who share their genes survive to reproduce, just as they would by producing offspring of their own.

Biology 103 On Serendip Just by flipping through the pages of a newspaper or watching the local news, it becomes obvious how great an impact science has on our current thinking. The media has become a showroom for scientific exploits; we hear about gene discoveries, we have a newfound reverence for the ER room, we have ten drug options for every ailment. Science has become the authority on everything from illness to the environment. When the time comes to write a paper for a biology class, the problem isn't what to write about, it is what not to write about. With this in mind, it is not surprising that anyone with a romantic spirit, an affinity for magic, and a secret desire to believe in the X Files, has difficulty accepting that the intricacies of the world can be explained away by science. Is there such a thing as the unknown, or is everything just waiting to be scientifically identified?

Biology 103 On Serendip The ideal visions generated in the days of 1969 seem long behind the coming of the 21st century boy, however those brief moments of free love and the formation of notions dealing with unity and equality continue to resonate today. The sixties and seventies brought upon an increased feminist consciousness, with many working to expand the rights of women in the workplace and inside the home. In the past ten years however, the word 'feminism' has become enshrouded with negative euphemisms, and perhaps in a bit of an attempt to add more claim to the feminist cause, biology has been incorporated into feminist theory, added to deliver an additional punch into a chauvinist gut. 'Feminist Biology', if it may be called as such, relies on the findings of sociobiology to bolster feminist claims. In the belief that ones current state is based upon a complex interaction of genetics and social environment, feminists are able to "lay bare the harsh reality of nature"

    Extractions: Sociobiology is a branch of biology that attempts to explain animal behavior and social structures in terms of evolutionary advantage or strategy. It uses techniques from ethology evolution and population genetics The term 'sociobiology' was coined by E. O. Wilson in 1975 with the publication of his famous book, Sociobiology: The New Synthesis . Sociobiology attempts to explain the evolutionary mechanics behind social behaviors such as altruism aggression , and nurturance. Wilson's book sparked one of the greatest scientific controversies of the 20th century. Sociobiologists do not believe that animal or human behaviour can be explained entirely by "cultural" or "environmental" factors. They believe that in order to fully understand behaviour it must be analyzed with some focus on its evolutionary origins. If Darwin's theory of evolution is accepted, then evolved behavioural mechanisms that allowed an organism a greater chance of surviving and reproducing would be more likely to survive in present organisms.
