1. Ants.

   He was the twentieth century's leading expert on these insects.

2. Sociobiology. He created the term and wrote the book. He applies evolution and genetics to the study of human nature.^[4][5] This part of his work has been highly controversial. The term is not as often used as it was before.

3. Edward wilson theory
4. How old is ed wilson
5. Eo wilson quotes
6. What is e o wilson famous for

The idea of evolutionary psychology is becoming more popular.

7. Biodiversity and conservation. This part of his work is agreed by many other experts.
8. Unity of knowledge. He argues that all knowledge – including humanities and social sciences – should be a kind of unified science. This is a philosophical view which has been put forward several times before.^[5]p
