Extractions: 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 remainto 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.

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 scientific analysis of social behavior available today. Alcock challenges the notion that sociobiology depends on genetic determinism while showing the shortcoming of competing approaches that rely on cultural or environmental determinism. He also presents the practical applications of sociobiology and the progress sociobiological research has made in the search for a more complete understanding of human activities. His reminder that "natural" behavior is not "moral" behavior should quiet opponents fearing misapplication of evolutionary theory to our species. The key misconceptions about this evolutionary field are dissected one by one as the author shows why sociobiologists have had so much success in explaining the puzzling and fascinating social behavior of nonhuman animals and humans alike.

Extractions: Received: 24 November 1995/Accepted after revision: 25 May 1996 Abstract Using electrophoretic markers, eggs laid by workers were identified in honey bee ( Apis mellifera ) colonies with a queen. Based on extrapolation, these represented about 7% of the unfertilized (male) eggs laid in the colonies. A very small proportion of workers (of the order of 0.01%) lay these eggs. Worker-laid eggs are rapidly removed, so that very few sons of workers are reared. Thus the reproductive cooperation in bee colonies is maintained by ongoing antagonistic interactions among the members of the colony, with worker laying and egg removal policing by other workers being relatively common.

Extractions: ARN Library Files First Things 109, January, 2001, 18-24 by Tom Bethell To future generations, the Sociobiology Wars may come as something of a puzzle. The shared beliefs of the disputants were so much more impressive than their disagreements that historians may wonder what the fuss was about. Perhaps the controversy will come to resemble the Wars of the Roses, all of whose contestants believed in the divine right of kings. Their differing opinions as to succession seem rather trivial by comparison. In the case of sociobiology, all the principal actors accept the premise of materialism, sometimes called naturalism. They believe, or at least for the purposes of doing science they believe, that matter in motion is all that exists, and that mind and consciousness are merely special configurations of that matter. Anyone who believes this must, as a matter of logical necessity, also believe in evolution. No digging for fossils, no test tubes or microscopes, no further experiments are needed. For birds, bats, and bees do exist. They came into existence somehow. Your consistent materialist has no choice but to allow that, yes, molecules in motion succeeded, over the eons, in whirling themselves into ever more complex conglomerations, some of them called bats, some birds, some bees. He "knows" that is true, not because he sees it in the genes, or in the lab, or in the fossils, but because it is embedded in his philosophy.

Extractions: Sociobiology: Implications for Human Studies June 14 and 15, 1977 The NEXA Program presented a two day symposium on the controversial subject of sociobiology. Held on the San Francisco State University campus on June 14 and 15, 1977, the symposium was funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities and coordinated by Anita Silvers, Professor of Philosophy at SFSU. The symposium coincided with the 58th annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (Pacific Division) also held on the campus. Academic debate arose out of the work of Harvard zoologist Edward 0. Wilson as presented in his 1975 book: Sociobiology: The New Synthesis. Wilson claims that sociobiology is a new discipline that studies the biological basis of human behavior. Indeed, he claims that all or most species-specific behavior is genetically determined. The NEXA Program called together scholars from the sciences and humanities to debate the subject for the first time. The free, two-day program held in McKenna Theater was publicized in the "New York Review of Books" and attracted 700 people to hear five panel discussions covering the following topics: What is Sociobiology?

Extractions: Viking Penguin, $24.95 If you've ever read Sinclair Lewis's Arrowsmith , you surely recall Dr. Tubbs. The ur -technocrat who understood precious little of the science done in the institute he ran, the vapid Tubbs would pop into a lab just long enough to announce that he was off to yet another conference on teamwork in science. For cooperation, he invariably added, was the next "Real Big Thing in Science." Tubbs was not only a believable character (in a novel desperately short of them), he was a prophetic one. The ratio of Tubbses to Arrowsmiths in science of technically clueless hangers-on to those who sit before a lab benchhas grown ever more lop-sided since Lewis's time. But Tubbs was prophetic in another way too. Cooperation, it seems, was the next Real Big Thing in Science. As it turns out, an army of evolutionary biologists, evolutionary psychologists, economists and political scientists have descended on the problem of why animalsand especially humanscooperate. And why not? To anyone schooled in modern evolutionary biology, cooperation must seem a bit puzzling. For decades now we've been told that genes are selfish and that we, as organisms, are mere "survival machines" created by relentlessly self-serving strands of DNA to ensure their own persistence. But if genes are so selfish, why aren't survival machines? Why do animals, and especially humans, so often work together? Why do we share food, tithe, hunt in groups, build hospitals, become priests, serve in armies, and preach a morality that emphasizes above all the importance of selflessness?

Extractions: Heaven on Earth? "...for just as the smallpox virus was systematically hunted down to extinction, so the precise molecular signature(s) of aversive experience and its predisposing genes will be hunted down and wiped out as well. The systematic application of nanotechnology, self-reproducing micro-miniaturised robots armed with supercomputer processing power, and ultra-sophisticated genetic engineering, perhaps using retro-viral vectors, will assure the eradication of the root of all evil in its naturalistic guise. Thus with the right genes and designer drugs, there's no reason why life shouldn't just get better and better.... "

Extractions: From Edward O. Wilson, "Introduction: What is Sociobiology?" In Michael S. Gregory, Anita Silvers, and Diane Sutch (Eds.). 1978. Sociobiology and Human Nature: An Interdisciplinary Critique and Defense. San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass, pp. 1 - 12. I was surprisedeven astonishedby the initial reaction to Sociobiology: The New Synthesis (1975a). When the book was published in 1975, I expected a favorable reaction from other biologists. After all, my colleagues and I had merely been extending neo-Darwinism into the study of social behavior and animal societies, and the underlying biological principles we employed were largely conventional. The response was in fact overwhelmingly favorable. From the social scientists, I expected not much reaction. I took it for granted that the human species is subject to sociobiological analysis no less than to genetic or endocrinological analysis; the final chapter of my book simply completed the catalogue of social species by adding Homo sapiens . I hoped to make a contribution to the social sciences and humanities by laying out, in immediately accessible form, the most relevant methods and principles of population biology, evolutionary theory, and sociobiology. I expected that many social scientists, already convinced of the necessity of a biological foundation for their subject, would be tempted to pick up the tools and try them out. This has occurred to a limited extent, but there has also been stiff resistance. I now understand that I entirely underestimated the Durkheim-Boas tradition of autonomy of the social sciences, as well as the strength and power of the antigenetic bias that has prevailed as virtual dogma since the fall of Social Darwinism.
