Sociobiology: Beyond Nature/nurture?: Reports, Definitions And Debate de George W Barlow

Sociobiology: Beyond Nature/nurture?: Reports, Definitions And Debate

Autor George W Barlow, James Silverberg, Frank B Livingstone
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 noi 2020
To most biologists, sociobiology represents the concept of strict Darwinian individual selection married to an analytical application of ecological principles and brought to bear on social behavior in an unusually exciting and productive way. Joining the biologists are a small number of social scientists. But there are radically divergent views as to how the field should be delimited, and sociobiology is one of the most widely discussed fields in biology and anthropology today. The symposium on which this book is based was arranged by a biologist and an anthropologist. The participants, leaders in their fields, ably present contrasting and responsible views on current issues. This is the first collection of essays on sociobiology in which opposing views are aired. It is an exciting, timely book and an important historical document.
