Edward O. Wilson

Wilson served as a lightning rod back in the 1970's when he first made the outrageous suggestion in a book called "Sociobiology" that human nature exists and it probably has a partial genetic basis.

Re: You've been called a lightning rod.
Why is it that so many in the Humanities (I am of that tribe, an artist) distrust science, as in the frantic rejection of Wilson's Sociobiology, when it is, in fact, one of the few things that ultimately protects us from freedom-denying despotism?
