Sociobiology: The New Synthesis
Author:Edward O. Wilson
Edition:1st Edition
The biological foundations of social behavior are examined through an evolutionary framework that connects genetics, natural selection, and behavior across species. It explores how social structures such as communication, cooperation, aggression, and reproduction evolve, linking animal behavior to human social systems while providing a unified perspective on the origins of social organization.
