The Social Conquest of Earth : ウィキペディア英語版 | The Social Conquest of Earth ''The Social Conquest of Earth'' is a 2012 non-fiction book by biologist Edward O. Wilson. Wilson adapted the title of Paul Gaugin's famous mural as a theme -- "What are we?", "Where did we come from?", "Where are we going?" -- for discussing his topic of eusocial behavior in several arthropod taxa and a few mammalian species, and its role in making humans as a species unique. The book argues, building on a 2010 paper by Wilson, Martin Nowak and Corina Tarnita in ''Nature'', arguing for more importance of group selection and attacking the idea of kin selection. == Reception == The ''Nature'' article was controversial, with many experts arguing against its conclusions, including an "outraged response" later in the same journal by 137 authors. Richard Dawkins wrote a harshly critical review for ''Prospect'', in which he stated that Wilson had earlier supported Bill Hamilton's theory of kin selection but had, over the years, moved away from it, to the point where it was debatable that he had really understood the theory.
