ISBN10: 1631495542, ISBN13: 9781631495540, [publisher: WW Norton & Co] Hardcover Hardcover. Asserting that religious creeds and philosophical questions can be reduced to purely genetic and evolutionary components, and that the human body and mind have a physical base obedient to the laws of physics and chemistry, Genesis demonstrates that the only way for us to fully understand human behavior is to study the evolutionary histories of nonhuman species. Of these, Wilson demonstrates that at least seventeenamong them the African naked mole rat and the sponge- dwelling shrimphave been found to have advanced societies based on altruism and cooperation. Whether writing about midges who dance about like acrobats or schools of anchovies who protectively huddle to appear like a gigantic fish, or proposing that human society owes a debt of gratitude to postmenopausal grandmothers and childless homosexuals, Genesis is a pithy yet path-breaking work of evolutionary theory, braiding twenty-first-century scientific theory with the lyrical biological and humanistic observations for which Wilson is known. Forming a twenty-first-century statement on Darwinian evolution, one shorn of religious and political dogma, Edward O. Wilson offers a bold work of scientific thought and synthesis.
