Monthly June 483 (heading) The socio-biology of man. 2. The study of the social behaviour of animals, esp. as a means to understanding the biological basis of human social behaviour; (in later use) spec. the explanation of social behaviour in terms of theories of evolutionary and ecological adaptation.The subject became controversial especially after the publication of E. O. Wilson's Sociobiology (1975). This controversy arose partly from scientific debate about the validity of the evolutionary concepts involved, and partly from philosophical or political objections to the notion that aspects of human society may be biologically determined (and hence unalterable), and sociobiology was criticized as ‘determinist’ or ‘reductionist’, or as a form of social Darwinism.
