"Where did we come from? What are we? Where are we going? Conceived in ultimate simplicity by Paul Gaugin on the canvas of his Tahitian masterpiece, these are in fact the central problems of religion and philosophy. Will we ever be able to solve them? Sometimes it seems not. Yet perhaps we can.”--E. O. Wilson In The Social Conquest of the Earth, E. O. WILSON, one of our greatest living scientists, tackles the fundamental questions of religion, philosophy, and science. Arguing that the sources of morality, religion, and the creative arts are fundamentally biological in nature, Wilson presents an explanation for the origin of the human condition and why it resulted in our domination of the Earth’s biosphere.
