Edwardo is an ordinary boy, so sometimes he can be a bit grubby or clumsy, a bit cruel or noisy or rude. The more that he is criticised, the worse he becomes, until one day they call him 'The Horriblest Boy in the Whole Wide World'. Just then, Edwardo's luck begins to change, and a series of chance events reveal that really he is a lovely boy, and has been all along.

New York Times Bestseller and Notable Book of the Year A Kirkus Reviews Book of the Year (Nonfiction) Longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence (Nonfiction) From the most celebrated heir to Darwin comes a groundbreaking book on evolution, the summa work of Edward O. Wilson's legendary career. Sparking vigorous debate in the sciences, The Social Conquest of Earth upends “the famous theory that evolution naturally encourages creatures to put family first” (Discover). Refashioning the story of human evolution, Wilson draws on his remarkable knowledge of biology and social behavior to demonstrate that group selection, not kin selection, is the premier driving force of human evolution. In a work that James D. Watson calls “a monumental exploration of the biological origins of the human condition,” Wilson explains how our innate drive to belong to a group is both a “great blessing and a terrible curse” (Smithsonian). Demonstrating that the sources of morality, religion, and the creative arts are fundamentally biological in nature, the renowned Harvard University biologist presents us with the clearest explanation ever produced as to the origin of the human condition and why it resulted in our domination of the Earth’s biosphere.

Edward O. Wilson -- University Professor at Harvard, winner of two Pulitzer prizes, eloquent champion of biodiversity -- is arguably one of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century. His career represents both a blueprint and a challenge to those who seek to explore the frontiers of scientific understanding. Yet, until now, little has been told of his life and of the important events that have shaped his thought.In Naturalist, Wilson describes for the first time both his growth as a scientist and the evolution of the science he has helped define. He traces the trajectory of his life -- from a childhood spent exploring the Gulf Coast of Alabama and Florida to life as a tenured professor at Harvard -- detailing how his youthful fascination with nature blossomed into a lifelong calling. He recounts with drama and wit the adventures of his days as a student at the University of Alabama and his four decades at Harvard University, where he has achieved renown as both teacher and researcher.As the narrative of Wilson's life unfolds, the reader is treated to an inside look at the origin and development of ideas that guide today's biological research. Theories that are now widely accepted in the scientific world were once untested hypotheses emerging from one mans's broad-gauged studies. Throughout Naturalist, we see Wilson's mind and energies constantly striving to help establish many of the central principles of the field of evolutionary biology.The story of Wilson's life provides fascinating insights into the making of a scientist, and a valuable look at some of the most thought-provoking ideas of our time.

Download Summary of Edward O. Wilson's The Social Conquest of Earth Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The origin and meaning of humanity is a great riddle that humanity cannot solve. Religion will never solve it. Since Paleolithic times, each tribe has invented its own creation myth to explain their existence. #2 The great riddle of the human condition cannot be solved by introspection. It can only be solved by recourse to the mythic foundations of religion, or by the scientific process. #3 The questions of where we came from and what we are can be answered by bringing together information from multiple disciplines, ranging from molecular genetics, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology to archaeology, ecology, social psychology, and history.

Download Summary of Edward O. Wilson's The Meaning of Human Existence Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The word meaning is used in two different ways. The first is to imply intention, which is the heart of the philosophical worldview of organized religions. The second is to imply the accidents of history, not the intentions of a designer, are the source of meaning. #2 The second, more inclusive meaning of human existence is the capacity to imagine possible futures, plan and choose among them, and use this ability wisely. The question of greatest relevance is how and why we are the way we are, and the meaning of our many competing visions of the future. #3 The second, broader meaning of our species is that humanity arose entirely on its own through an accumulated series of events during evolution. We are not predestined to reach any goal, and we are not answerable to any power but our own. #4 The human condition is a product of history, and the key to understanding it lies in the circumstance and process that created our species. Eusociality is the most complex societies have arisen through, and it has only arisen among insects, marine crustaceans, and subterranean rodents.

Download SUMMARY - Genesis: The Deep Origin Of Societies By Edward O. Wilson Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. As you read this summary, you will discover how humanity has evolved into an organized and cooperative society. You will also discover : that altruism appeared very early in biological evolution; that the species closest to mankind in terms of cooperation are found among insects; that in order to create groups, the individual had to put the interests of the group before his own; that eusociality, that advanced level of group cooperation, is the result of complex biological evolution; that the rapid cultural and social evolution of humanity was achieved through campfire conversations. For much of history, religions have monopolized the question of humanity's existence. For them, the enigma was easy to solve. The gods would have placed you on Earth before telling you how to behave. Today, scientists have a clearer idea of the true history of creation. You now know a lot about how mankind was born. The story of our existence, very different from the one imagined by theologians, has proven to be very close to the history of other species. These have, like mankind, evolved into more or less advanced societies. What are the forces that have allowed you to be as you are today? *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!

Eloquent, practical and wise, this book by one of the world’s most important scientists—and two time Pulitzer Prize winner—should be read and studied by anyone concerned with the fate of the natural world. It "makes one thing clear ... we know what we do, and we have a choice" (The New York Times Book Review). E.O. Wilson assesses the precarious state of our environment, examining the mass extinctions occurring in our time and the natural treasures we are about to lose forever. Yet, rather than eschewing doomsday prophesies, he spells out a specific plan to save our world while there is still time. His vision is a hopeful one, as economically sound as it is environmentally necessary.
