Although voted by officers and fellows of the international Animal Behavior Society the most important book on animal behavior of all time, \u003ci\u003eSociobiology\u003c\/i\u003e is probably more widely known as the object of bitter attacks by social scientists and other scholars who opposed its claim that human social behavior, indeed human nature, has a biological foundation. The controversy surrounding the publication of the book reverberates to the present day. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the introduction to this Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Edition, Edward O. Wilson shows how research in human genetics and neuroscience has strengthened the case for a biological understanding of human nature. Human sociobiology, now often called evolutionary psychology, has in the last quarter of a century emerged as its own field of study, drawing on theory and data from both biology and the social sciences. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor its still fresh and beautifully illustrated descriptions of animal societies, and its importance as a crucial step forward in the understanding of human beings, this anniversary edition of \u003ci\u003eSociobiology: The New Synthesis\u003c\/i\u003e will be welcomed by a new generation of students and scholars in all branches of learning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward O.
