Editorial Reviews
Steve Sailer
Great fiction does not grow obsolete. Nor, in its 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, Sociology which introduced neo- Darwinism to the public- and which has now been reissued to mark its 25th anniversary- is just such a book. Vast yet coherent, Sociology demonstrated in rigorous detail how Darwinian selection molded the various ways in which all animals from the lowly corals to the social insects to the highest primates- compete and cooperate with others of their own species.—National Review/ June 2000

"Wilson turns a connoisseur's eye on contemporary societies, judging them on the basis of how completely individuals work together, how effectively individuals or ego has been modified for the good of the whole...In any case,Sociobiology: The New Synthesis has much to say about what is happening to us here and now. It is devoted largely to discussion of factors favoring cooperation - defense against predators, outcompeting competitors, more effective feeding and breeding, and so on...Actually the book may be regarded as an evolutionary event in itself, announcing for all who can hear that we are on the verge of breakthroughs in the effort to understand our place in the scheme of things." Books of the Century, The New York Times, July, 1975Contemporary Sociology
A towering theoretical achievement of exceptional elegance...Like most great books, Sociobiology is unpedantic, lucid, and eminently accessible.
— Pierre L. van den Berghe
Harper's
This book enthralls and enchants...If you have this book...you can begin getting your mind ready for the illuminations about human society.
— Lewis Thomas
Nature
Its contents do indeed provide a new synthesis, of wide perspective and great authority...Wilson's plain uncluttered prose is a treat to read, his logic is rigorous, his arguments are lucid.
— V. C. Wymne-Edwards
Practical Psychology
Sociobiology, a new concept, is one with extraordinary potential value for understanding and explaining human behavior.
Quarterly Review of Biology
This book will stand as a landmark in the comparative study of social behavior.
Scientific American
Rarely has the world been provided with such a splendid stepping stone for an exciting future of a new science.
— John Tyler Bonner
The Atlantic
It is impossible to leave Wilson's book without having one's sense of life permanently and dramatically widened.
— Fred Hapgood
Times Higher Education Supplement
Sociobiology explores the possibility that animal social behaviour—group living, kinship, attraction and mating, reciprocity and sharing, cooperation, conflict, and cheating, to name just the most familiar—has a genetic basis and can be shaped by natural selection: genes can be shaped by natural selection: genes can code for social behaviours in the same way that they code for body parts such as hands, hooves, eyes, antlers and ears. But, in an audacious final chapter, Wilson extended the analysis to humans: biology had grabbed our kinship, cooperation, mate preferences and the rest. Some branded Wilson and his ideas fascist, others as racist or guilty of genetic determinism. They are none of these things and, two Pulitzer Prizes later, Wilson has been vindicated...Wilson's Sociobiology laid the foundations for a lifetime of meditations.
— Mark Pagel
Times Literary Supplement
Sociobiology is an excellent book, full of extraordinary insights, and replete with the beauty and poetry of the animal kingdom.
