Review

"THE TRIUMPH OF SOCIOBIOLOGYàcan 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."

Annotation

Alcock, a professor of biology at Arizona State University, defends E. O. Wilson's controversial brand of sociobiology as a valuable and scientifically sound discipline. In this text, published 25 years after Wilson's SOCIOBIOLOGY inaugurated the orthodoxly Darwinist ideas behind the science, seeks to explain humankind as part of the natural order of being, replying to scientific objections and addressing misconceptions about what sociobiology is and how it interprets the natural world.
