     sociobiology The New Synthesis TwentyFifth Anniversary Edition by Edward O. Wilson, published by Harvard University Press.

     Extractions: View a video on Professor Wilson entitled "On the Relation of Science and the Humanities" Harvard University Press is proud to announce the re-release of the complete original version of Sociobiology: The New Synthesis now available in paperback for the first time. When this classic work was first published in 1975, it created a new discipline and started a tumultuous round in the age-old nature versus nurture debate. Although voted by officers and fellows of the international Animal Behavior Society the most important book on animal behavior of all time, Sociobiology is probably more widely known as the object of bitter attacks by social scientists and other scholars who opposed its claim that human social behavior, indeed human nature, has a biological foundation. The controversy surrounding the publication of the book reverberates to the present day. In the introduction to this Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Edition, Edward O. Wilson shows how research in human genetics and neuroscience has strengthened the case for a biological understanding of human nature. Human sociobiology, now often called evolutionary psychology, has in the last quarter of a century emerged as its own field of study, drawing on theory and data from both biology and the social sciences.

     Extractions: see previous page 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

     Extractions: Individual genetic advantage fails to explain many social behaviors. However, genetic evolution appears to act on social groups. The mechanisms that select in groups are statistical and can be harder to grasp than individual selection. The analytical processes of sociobiology, use paradigms and population statistics similar to actuarial analyses of the insurance industry or game theory A vivid example of altruism is when a serviceman throws himself onto a hand grenade to save his buddies. A genetic trait encouranging this "altruism" may help his society expand its gene pool at the expense of societies that lack this trait. So, this genetic trait will survive and increase even though it destroys individuals
