“Where did we come from?
What are we? Where are we going? In a generational work of clarity and passion,
one of our greatest living scientists directly addresses these three
fundamental questions of religion, philosophy, and science while overturning
the famous theory that evolution naturally encourages creatures to put family
first (Discover magazine). Refashioning the story of human evolution in a work
that is certain to generate headlines, Wilson draws on his remarkable knowledge
of biology and social behavior to show that group selection, not kin selection,
is the primary driving force of human evolution. He proves that history makes
no sense without prehistory, and prehistory makes no sense without biology.
Demonstrating that the sources of morality, religion, and the creative arts are
fundamentally biological in nature, Wilson
presents us with the clearest explanation ever produced as to the origin of the
human condition and why it resulted in our domination of the Earth 's
biosphere.”
