PDF-(BOOS)-The Triumph of Sociobiology

In The Triumph of Sociobiology John Alcock reviews the controversy that has surrounded evolutionary studies of human social behavior following the 1975 publication of EO Wilsons classic Sociobiology The New Synthesis Denounced vehemently as an ideology that has justified social evils and inequalities sociobiology has survived the assault Twentyfive years after the field was named by Wilson the approach he championed has successfully demonstrated its value in the study of animal behavior including the behavior of our own species Yet misconceptions remainto our disadvantage In this straightforward objective approach to the sociobiology debate noted animal behaviorist John Alcock illuminates how sociobiologists study behavior in all species He confronts the chief scientific and ideological objections head on with a compelling analysis of case histories that involve such topics as sexual jealousy beauty gender difference parentoffspring relations and rape In so doing he shows that sociobiology provides the most satisfactory evolutionary analysis of social behavior today A clear evocative and accurate account of the history and content on the subject inviting to the student and the general reader alikeEdward O Wilson Harvard University.

When Edward O. Wilson published Sociobiology, it generated a firestorm of criticism, mostly focused on the book\'s final chapter, in which Wilson applied lessons learned from animal behavior to human society. In Defenders of the Truth, Ullica Segerstrale takes a hard look at the sociobiology controversy, sorting through a hornet\'s nest of claims and counterclaims, moral concerns, metaphysical beliefs, political convictions, strawmen, red herrings, and much juicy gossip. The result is a fascinating look at the world of modern science. Segerstrale has interviewed all the major participants, including such eminent scientists as Stephen Jay Gould, Richard C. Lewontin, Richard Dawkins, John Maynard Smith, Nobel Laureates Peter Medawar and Salvador Luria, and of course Edward Wilson. She reveals that most of the criticism of Wilson was unfair, but argues that it was not politically motivated. Instead, she sees the conflict over sociobiology as a drawn-out battle about the nature of good science and the social responsibility of the scientist. Behind the often nasty attacks were the very different approaches to science taken by naturalists (such as Wilson) and experimentalists (such as Lewontin), between the planters and the weeders. The protagonists were all defenders of the truth, Segerstrale concludes, it was just that everyone\'s truth was different. Defenders of the Truth touches on grand themes such as the unity of knowledge, human nature, and free will and determinism, and it shows how the sociobiology controversy can shed light on the more recent debates over the Human Genome Project and The Bell Curve. It will appeal to all readers of Edward O. Wilson or Stephen Jay Gould and all those who enjoy a behind-the-scenes peek at modern science.
