Refashioning the story of human evolution, Edward O.
Wilson draws on his remarkable knowledge of biology and social behavior to demonstrate that group selec-tion, not kin selection, is the premier driving force of human evolution. In a work that James D. Watson calls
"a monumental exploration of the biological origins of the human condition," Wilson explains how our innate drive to belong to a group is "both a great blessing and a terrible curse" (Smithsonian magazine). Demonstrating that the sources of morality, religion, and the creative arts are fundamentally biological in nature, the renowned Harvard biologist 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.
EDWARD O. WILSON, the winner of two Pulitzer Prizes, is regarded as one of the world's preeminent biologists and nat-uralists. The author of more
than twenty books, including The Creation and the best-selling novel Anthill, Wilson, a professor emeritus at Harvard University, makes his home in Lex-ington, Massachusetts.
