In 'The Social Conquest of Earth', eminent biologist Edward O. Wilson presents a bold new hypothesis arguing that group selection, not kin selection, has been the primary force behind human evolution. Contradicting established theories that prioritize familial ties, Wilson explores how our propensity for group belonging shapes not only our evolutionary trajectory but also the very fabric of human society and culture. Through this lens, he delves into the origins of morality, religion, and the creative arts, linking them to our biological nature. 'The Social Conquest of Earth' stands as a landmark exploration of humanity's evolutionary past and its impact on our present domination of the planet's biosphere.
