For eons, the greatest minds of humanity have lacked verifiable answers to the questions that define and explain the meaning of human existence: what we are and what created us. In Genesis, the celebrated biologist Edward O. Wilson examines evolutionary history and offers us a revealing account of the deep origins of society. By stating that religious beliefs and philosophical issues can be reduced to purely genetic and evolutionary components, and that both the human body and mind have a physical basis that obeys the laws of physics and chemistry, Genesis shows that the only The way we have to understand human behavior is to study the various evolutionary histories of non-human species. Wilson shows that at least seventeen (including the African naked mole rat and sponge-laying shrimp) have been observed to have developed advanced societies based on human-like levels of altruism and cooperation. Whether writing about diptera "dancing like acrobats" or schools of anchovies huddling together as a protective measure to look like "a gigantic fish," Edward O. Wilson produces a groundbreaking work on evolutionary theory with biological and humanistic observations by the that is known and admired.
