The Life of Mr. O

In The Diversity of Life and The Future of Life he conveys his deep concern for humanity's bewildering degradation of our planet's ecosystems. His commitment to protecting our natural heritage has brought him to the forefront of environmental activism.

He outlined a new field of study, known as sociobiology: the study of all animal interactions, especially humans.

Edwards, contribution.

In our study of APES we are looking at how humans impact the environment and this is one of Wilsons main concerns in his studies and the books he writes.
