Abstract:

A recent dispute between Richard Dawkins and Edward O. Wilson concerning fundamental concepts in sociobiology is examined. It is argued that sociobiology has not fared well since the 1970s, and that its survival as a ‘scientific’ perspective has been increasingly tenuous. This is, at least in part, because it has failed to move forward in the ways its developers anticipated, but also because it has not seen the developments in natural history, genomics and social science it was relying upon. It is argued that sociobiology has become a purely utilitarian perspective, a way of looking at things,

Abstract:

AbstractThe fundamental postulate of sociobiology is that individuals exploit favorable environments to increase their genetic representation in the next generation. The data on fertility differentials among contemporary humans are not cotvietent with this postulate. Given the importance ofHomo sapiensas an animal species in the natural world today, these data constitute particularly challenging and interesting problem for both human sociobiology and sociobiology as a whole.The first part of this paper reviews the evidence showing an inverse relationship between reproductive fitness and “endow

Is the term “evolutionary psychology” supplanting “sociobiology” in the scientific literature? How influential was E. O. Wilson's (1975) book, Sociobiology, in establishing the discipline of the same name? Similarly, how influential were the two Tooby-Cosmides chapters appearing in The Adapted Mind ( Cosmides and Tooby, 1992 ; Tooby and Cosmides, 1992 ) in establishing evolutionary psychology as a viable outgrowth of sociobiology? The purpose of the present research was to answer these questions using quantitative analyses of publication trends. The Internet search engine Google Scholar was us

Abstract:

Abstract The author discusses the question, if sociobiology can be relevant for the conceptual foundations of ethics. She comes to the conclusion that sociobiology cannot reduce the meaning of moral terms to that of sociobiological discourse, but that sociobiology might nevertheless be able to shed light on the complex phenomenon of morality by demonstrating the presence of traces of our evolutionary past in our behavior. Thereby sociobiology might be relevant for elucidating the relation between »can« and »ought«, that is, for the question of practicability of moral norms.

Abstract:

It is a commonplace that Octavia Butler shows interest in evolution and sociobiology in her work. However, the details of her use of biology have often been neglected. I argue that Butler’s Lilith’s Brood is more deeply rooted in the particulars of sociobiology than has been previously understood. Rather than a reaction to sociobiology in the abstract, Lilith’s Brood engages in a detailed dialogue with E.O. Wilson’s Sociobiology and Biophilia, among other texts. A number of Wilson’s arguments and concepts from these two texts are used and transformed in Lilith’s Brood, with the result that the

Abstract:

Sociobiology was published in 1975. Four years earlier its author had published “an enormous and definitive book” on social insects, a work which established him as the world authority on that subject. In Sociobiology, Wilson set out to apply evolutionary theory to social behaviour not only in insects but throughout the animal kingdom. As a biologist he naturally included man among the animals, but it was this which caused the uproar. Had he omitted his last 33 pages-the chapter on “Man: from sociobiology to sociology” - his book would probably have led a quiet life as a well-written semipopul

Abstract:

It is shown that the dynamical game theoretic mating behaviour of males and females can be modelled by a planar system of autonomous ordinary differential equations. This system occurs in modelling “the battle of the sexes” in evolutionary biology. The existence of a heteroclinic cycle and a continuous family of periodic orbits of the system is established; then the dynamical characteristics of a time-periodic perturbation of the system are investigated. By using the well-known Melnikov's method, a sufficient condition is obtained for the perturbed system to have a transverse heteroclinic cycl

At the same time, it stimulates a broad view of the complexity of mutual relations between the sphere of culture and politics and biological factors. The condition for such a perspe

To do this, she enlisted a set of expert sociobiologists who work in a variety of academic areas and asked each of them to contribute a chapter demonstrating the impact ofsociobiology in their field.

The author rejects as unfounded the argument that sociobiology can provide a nomothetic foundation for the sociocultural sciences. The theoretical logic of sociobiology is reviewed, the scope of the theory is discussed, and its problems of inference, ecology, and myth making are analyzed. The explicit claim made by interpreters that the theory provides ultimate explanations, and the implicit claim to a privileged status for these, cannot be theoretically, empirically, or logically justified.

Feminists have often been among the most outspoken critics of sociobiology, maintaining that sociobiology is inherently sexist and that it is used to uphold patriarchy. This article examines the latest research by scholars—many of them women—who have used a sociobiological approach to expand our understanding of female behavior. It shows that sociobiology recognizes complexity in human reproductive behavior and that members of both sexes employ a variety of reproductive strategies, depending upon their environments.
