Searching for meaning in what Nietzsche once called the rainbow
colors around the outer edges of knowledge and imagination, Edward
O. Wilson bridges science and philosophy to create a
twenty-first-century treatise on human existence. Once criticized
for his over-reliance on genetics, Wilson unfurls here his most
expansive and advanced theories on human behavior, recognizing
that, even though the human and the spider evolved similarly, the
poet s sonnet is wholly different from the spider s web. Whether
attempting to explicate the Riddle of the Human Species, warning of
the Collapse of Biodiversity, or even creating a plausible Portrait
of E.T., Wilson does indeed believe that humanity holds a special
position in the known universe. Alarmed, however, that we are about
to abandon natural selection by redesigning biology and human
nature as we wish them, Wilson concludes that advances in science
and technology bring us our greatest moral dilemma since God stayed
the hand of Abraham."
