'Lord of the Ants Ed Wilson Was hit in the eye by the dorsal vertical stabiliser of a Pin fish and went partly blind, so he turned his knightlyime to animals meek enough for him to see whole and up close, something small enough for him to sacrifice between his thumb and storeyer fingers breadth to inspect. Pheidole Jim Watson- Newly appointed head at Harvard Watson inspired Wilson to apply chemistry to how ants preventive so organized Chemical jumper lead ants leave to direct and guide divers(prenominal) ants towards food, away from an enemy, a new home, and so on. Pheromones Sociobiology Many protested his hypothesis of sociobiology Encyclopedia of life E. O.Wilson was  intrigued by nature at a very young age, growing up in Alabama offered him a innate world, rich in plants, insects, and plenty some other species just waiting to be discovered. He had a true passion for apprehension the natural world that we inhabit. As a young boy,  he was hit in the eye by the dorsal fin of a Pin fish and went partly blind. He didnt let this hold him back, alternatively he focused his busy to animals small enough for him to see entirely and up close, something small enough for him to hold between his thumb and pointer finger to inspect. Wilsons interest in nature grew with his age, he  get his B.S. and M. S. degrees at the University of Alabama, and went on to earn his Ph. D. from Harvard University. Wilson wrote On Human Nature, a Pulitzer Prize-winning book on his theory of Sociobiology, explaining how the many characteristics of compassionate and participation can be explained from an evolutionary point of view. He explained that all animal behavior, including human behavior, is the outcome of hereditary factors, environmental stimuli, and past experiences. His work faced much electric resistance from many, as a lot of critics had a hard time accepting his theory as it applied to humans.His theory rejects the antecedently established doc trine of tabula rasa, which holds that human beings are born a clean slate, and that nuance functions to aid in human knowledge, survival, and success. Island biogeography is a field of biogeography that studies species richness in uninvolved natural areas. This theory examines extinction and migration patterns of different species to isolated areas. Wilsons work has lead to the mind and need for species conservation. His theory led to establishing field of study parks and the development of habitat corridors.\r\n'
