sfjockosays..."Sociobiology: The New Synthesis
Referred to by some as Darwin II, Wilson's application of evolutionary principles to the understanding of human behavior and human culture has been seminal, controversial, and extremely influencial. Sociobiology, as Wilson originally called his new synthesis work in 1975, was "the systematic study of the biological basis of all social behavior." Human animals, like other animals, were not entirely of a free will argued the pioneering author. Rather, humans and human culture evolve according to certain biologically based rules (i.e. epigenetic rules). Thus, sociobiology established a scientfic argument for rejecting the common doctrine of tabula rasa (i.e. "blank slate"), which held that human beings were born without any innate mental content and that culture functioned to increase human knowledge and aid in survival and success."
