10/12/11. Evolutionary biologist 82 year-old E.O. Wilson continues his remarkable career.
I remember being in graduate school when his controversial book, "Sociobiology" was published. Some female psychology professors wanted to stop Wilson from spreading such "lies" about social behavior, gender, and biology. Wilson responded to criticism with another provocative book, "On Human Nature."
Wilson once said that Karl Marx was right about socialism --- but he was wrong about the species. Marx should have applied his insights to ants --- Wilson's scientific specialty.
