Wilson (Edward O. Wilson)

Edward O. Wilson was an influential American biologist known for his work in the fields of biodiversity, ecology, and social insects, especially ants. He popularized the concept of "biophilia," which suggests that humans have an innate connection to nature. A two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, Wilson advocated for the conservation of ecosystems and species, emphasizing the importance of biodiversity for the planet's health. His contributions to science also include theories on sociobiology, which examines how biology influences social behavior. Through his research and advocacy, Wilson greatly impacted environmental awareness and our understanding of the natural world.
