"THE TRIUMPH OF SOCIOBIOLOGYcan be read profitably by interested laypersons, students, and experts alike. Brimming with delightful description s of the natural history of many insects and animals, it provides a rigorous rebuttal of all the criticisms that have been thrown at sociobiology, from its supposed political motivations, its methodology, and its purported assumptions about gene-environment interactions. No one can come away from this book believing that sociobiology is a right-wing, genetically determinist, scientifically flawed discipline, nor can the reader be left in any doubt whether the subject can illuminate much of the variety of animal behavior that Alcock so ably lays out."Alcock, John is the author of 'Triumph of Sociobiology', published 2001 under ISBN 9780195143836 and ISBN 0195143833.
