Extractions: The International Sociobiology Institute is dedicated to the understanding of human behavior in an evolutionary context. Sociobiology in fact repudiates the Social-Darwinist rationalizations for racism,sexism and statism through its advocacy of methodological individualism despite the misapprehension of critics of sociobiology. By focusing on the individual as the unit of natural selection, sociobiology exposes statist ideologies of the Right and Left. Ultimately, sociobiology will reveal the social, political and reproductive strategies of ruling classes so that they can be countered by those over whom they attempt to rule. Thus, sociobiology is Not reactionary but profoundly revolutionary in its impact.

Mary Midgley, A Philosopher That People Can Actually Understand!
A very thorough site, containing links to many fulltext articles, on the long-standing critic of evolutionary psychology and sociobiology.

Extractions: What's hot: Mary, Mary, quite contrary " by Liz Else. A popular article title, it seems. Anyhow: " Mary Midgley is a woman on a mission. For two decades, Britain's most visible moral philosopher has laid into scientists who have tried to turn science into a religion. The big problem, says Midgley, is that it seduces people into believing in certainties and taking imperfect scientific metaphors as literal, revealed truth. Is it time to rethink science? Should we rename it? In her latest book, Midgley puts her money on Gaia as a guide. As she told Liz Else, Gaia might turn out to be that rare thingboth good science and good metaphor.
Steve Sailer: "E.O. Wilson's Sociobiology At Age 25" - National Review, 6/19/200
sociobiology at Age 25. Only the last of sociobiology's 26 chapters is devotedsolely to human societies, yet it blazed a trail that many others followed.
http://www.isteve.com/sociobiology.htm

Extractions: Great fiction does not grow obsolete. Nor in it's own way does great propaganda. In contrast, truly important scientific books render themselves obsolete by opening new fields for subsequent scholars to elaborate. Edward O. Wilson's 1975 landmark Sociobiology , which introduced neo-Darwinism to the publicand which has now been reissued to mark its 25th anniversaryis just such a book. Vast yet coherent, Sociobiology demonstrated in rigorous detail how Darwinian selection molded the various ways in which all animalsfrom the lowly corals to the social insects to the highest primatescompete and cooperate with others of their own species. Outraging the leftists who dominated academia, Wilson suggested numerous analogies between animal and human societies. While men have drawn such parallels since long before Aesop, Wilson's command of natural history and the power of neo-Darwinian theory in unifying this vast body of knowledge lent credibility to his grand ambition to reduce social science to a branch of biology, just as, Wilson argued, biology could ultimately be reduced to chemistry and chemistry to physics. .

An interview with the author of 'sociobiology'.
http://www.paulagordon.com/shows/wilson/

Extractions: The Paula Gordon Show The Science of Survival . . . is among the worlds great scientists. Author of two Pulitzer Prize winning books, Dr. Wilson spent a lifetime teaching at Harvard, where he earned his Ph.D. and which awarded him both of its college-wide teaching awards. Currently Professor and Honorary Curator of Harvards Museum of Comparative Zoology, Dr. Wilsons honors and awards include the National Medal of Science, top honors from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Worldwide Fund for Nature, the National Audubon Society, and Japans International Prize for Biology. He is on the Board of The Nature Conservancy, Conservation International and the American Museum of Natural History. Consilience, the Unity of Knowledge is his latest book. 3:32 secs The real work of the 21st century, according to the great Harvard scientist Edward O. Wilson, is to settle humanity down before we wreck the planet. Dr. Wilson says the explosion of the human population promises 8 billion people living on earth within 40 years (as compared to 2 billion in 1900.) Its a vast bottleneck coinciding with a documented worldwide decline in arable land and water. And we people are pushing the rest of life off the face of the earth. But Wilson also offers both hope and plans for action. While Dr. Wilson expects the 21st century will be a scary rush of accelerating change, if and this is a very big if if we address our challenges of natural resources, conservation, and human population, we have a chance for a quieter, more secure time for humans and other forms of life on the other side.

Sociobiology is a branch of biology with origins in ethology evolution and population genetics , which attempts to explain changes and stability of animal behavior and social structures, in terms of evolutionary advantage or strategy. The term 'sociobiology' was coined by Edward Osborne Wilson in the 1970s. Since then, other terms have come into currency, such as evolutionary psychology Applying sociobiology to study humans is very controversial issue, from both scientific and political/religious point of view, with opponents coming from the latter being much more vocal. Some have objected that sociobiological views of human beings tend to underestimate the ability of people to remake their environment that it encourages a belief in biological determinism and the naturalistic fallacy . Non-human sociobiology does not create such controversies. A middle path, growing in popularity, says that genes establish a palette of behaviors, which social training can augment, modify, reprioritise and resequence to a varying extent. In this view, scientific genetics and social institutions have roles that can be studied.

The New York Review Of Books: THE POLITICS OF SOCIOBIOLOGY
Letter. THE POLITICS OF sociobiology. In response to The Illusion of sociobiology(October 12, 1978). Fortunately, human sociobiology has not gone unchallenged.
http://www.nybooks.com/articles/7782

Extractions: May 31, 1979 Letter In response to The Illusion of Sociobiology (October 12, 1978) To the Editors We were pleased to read Stuart Hampshire's review of On Human Nature NYR , October 12) in which he shows the crucial philosophical flaws which undermine the entire structure of human sociobiology. However, in restricting himself purely to the philosophical problems inherent in On Human Nature , Hampshire neglected the social and political issues which are at the heart of the sociobiology controversy. Three years ago many of us wrote a letter ( NYR , November 13, 1975) in response to a review of E.O. Wilson's earlier book, Sociobiology: The New Synthesis , in which we pointed out the political content of this new field. We expressed concern at the likelihood that pseudo-scientific ideas would be used once more in the public arena to justify social policy. The events of the intervening years have fully justified our initial fears. Numerous articles in the popular media have used sociobiological theories to justify the status quo . In an article entitled, "A Genetic Defense of the Free Market,"
The New York Review Of Books: Against "Sociobiology"
Letter. Against sociobiology . The latest attempt to reinvigorate these tiredtheories comes with the alleged creation of a new discipline, sociobiology.
http://www.nybooks.com/articles/9017

Extractions: November 13, 1975 Letter In response to Mindless Societies (August 7, 1975) The following letter was prepared by a group of university faculty and scientists, high school teachers, doctors, and students who work in the Boston area To the Editors Each time these ideas have resurfaced the claim has been made that they were based on new scientific information. Yet each time, even though strong scientific arguments have been presented to show the absurdity of these theories, they have not died. The reason for the survival of these recurrent determinist theories is that they consistently tend to provide a genetic justification of the status quo and of existing privileges for certain groups according to class, race or sex. Historically, powerful countries or ruling groups within them have drawn support for the maintenance or extension of their power from these products of the scientific community. For example, John D. Rockefeller, Sr. said. These theories provided an important basis for the enactment of sterilization laws and restrictive immigration laws by the United States between 1910 and 1930 and also for the eugenics policies which led to the establishment of gas chambers in Nazi Germany.
