About This Item
From front DJ flap: "Few biologists in the history of natural science have been as groundbreaking, controversial, and productive as Edward Osborne Wilson, long hailed as 'Darwin's successor'."
Wilson focused on the insect society, then extended his research from social insects through the animal kingdom to human society. He is known for Sociobiology, published in 1975and demonstrated how Darwinian evolution shapes all animal behavior. In the 1990s he recognized the increasing destruction of wilderness and became a leading voice on the crucial importance of biodiversity and conservation.
