Definición

  • Sociobiology, the synthesis of ethology and population biology, was both hailed and damned when it was first presented systematically in Edward O. Wilson's 1975 pathbreaking volume of the same name. Spurred by Wilson's promise that this emerging new field would lead to the absorption of the social sciences and humanities, a group of political scientists—already intrigued by the promise of rapidly advancing findings in the life sciences—responded to Wilson's challenge by examining connections between the two fields of inquiry.
