Sparking vigorous debate in the sciences, The Social Conquest of
Earth upends "the famous theory that evolution naturally encourages
creatures to put family first" (Discover). Refashioning the story
of human evolution, Wilson draws on his remarkable knowledge of
biology and social behavior to demonstrate that group selection,
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). Demonstrating that the sources of
morality, religion, and the creative arts are fundamentally
biological in nature, the renowned Harvard University 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.
