About this title

Review:

A towering theoretical achievement of exceptional elegance...Like most great books, "Sociobiology" is unpedantic, lucid, and eminently accessible.--Pierre L. van den Berghe "Contemporary Sociology "

From the Back Cover:

Harvard University Press is proud to announce the re-release of the complete original version of Sociobiology: The New Synthesis, now available in paperback for the first time. When this classic work was first published in 1975, it created a new discipline and started a tumultuous round in the age-old nature versus nurture debate. Although voted by officers and fellows of the international Animal Behavior Society the most important book on animal behavior of all time, Sociobiology 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.
