Another loss from a great generation. Never met him but a good friend of mine was influenced heavily by him and built the "E O Wilson Biophilia Center" in Walton County, FL. to "educate on the importance of biodiversity, to promote sustainability, and to encourage conservation, preservation, and restoration of ecosystems."
"If you are the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room"

I know he was a prominent figure in one of my college Sociology text books. The sociobiology book came later... His earlier works were much more focused on Biology/Biodiversity. His theories in most part portray "the collective" in a positive way and he has been cannonized by the left for that reason.

The fact that more stuff is not named after him or he’s not made into a bigger deal in Mobile his hometown is baffling. He didn’t play football and he wasn’t a politician.

The University of South Alabama has a really nice research vessel named after him.
Guess my fat thumb got in the way again 🙄

To be clear, I didn't say he wrote the book but his theories on Biosociology were mentioned in it.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

As an undergraduate ecology major I read The Diversity of Life by E.O. Wilson and it heavily influenced me. It is a lot easier to read than Darwin.
It's not the strongest species to survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change. - Charles Darwin

Just trying to add to the conversation. But every green communist Ive ever met idolizes the man and has all the later "social" books visable on their bookshelves. That is all.
