Sociobiology: The New Synthesis (book)

"Sociobiology: The New Synthesis," by E.O. Wilson, is a groundbreaking book that explores how biological principles influence social behavior in animals and humans. It argues that many behaviors—such as cooperation, aggression, and mating—are shaped by evolutionary processes and natural selection. Wilson adds a scientific layer to understanding human society by suggesting that our social traits have biological roots, much like physical features. The book bridges biology and sociology, proposing that studying these biological foundations can deepen our understanding of human nature and social structures, fostering a more integrated view of life sciences.
