"THE TRIUMPH OF SOCIOBIOLOGY...can be read profitably by interested laypersons, students, and experts alike. Brimming with delightful description s of the natural history of many insects and animals, it provides a rigorous rebuttal of all the criticisms that have been thrown at sociobiology, from its supposed political motivations, its methodology, and its purported assumptions about gene-environment interactions. No one can come away from this book believing that sociobiology is a right-wing, genetically determinist, scientifically flawed discipline, nor can the reader be left in any doubt whether the subject can illuminate much of the variety of animal behavior that Alcock so ably lays out."
Daniel Jones, Human Nature Review, 2002

Book Description: Oxford University Press Inc, United States, 2003. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 234 x 154 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery ***** Print on Demand *****. In The Triumph of Sociobiology, John Alcock reviews the controversy that has surrounded evolutionary studies of human social behavior following the 1975 publication of E.O. Wilson's classic, Sociobiology, The New Synthesis. Denounced vehemently as an "ideology" that has justified social evils and inequalities, sociobiology has survived the assault. Twenty-five 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 remain--to our disadvantage. In this straight-forward, 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, parent-offspring 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 alike."--Edward O. Wilson, Harvard University. Bookseller Inventory # AAV9780195163353 Bookseller & Payment Information | More Books from this Seller | Ask Bookseller a Question |
