Lord of the Ants- Notes and Paper on E. O. Wilson

schoolmaster of the Ants Ed Wilson Was hit in the eye by the dorsal fin of a Pin slant and went partially blind, so he turned his interest to animals small overflowing for him to see entirely and up close, something small enough for him to hold between his thumb and pointer fingers breadth to inspect. Pheidole Jim Watson- Newly appointed tip at Harvard Watson inspired Wilson to apply chemistry to how ants stay so organized Chemical trail ants channel to direct and guide other ants towards food, away from an enemy, a new home, and so on. Pheromones Sociobiology Many protested his theory of sociobiology encyclopaedia of Life E. O.Wilson was intrigued by nature at a very recent age, growing up in Alabama offered him a natural world, rich in plants, insects, and plenty other species just waiting to be discovered. He had a true passion for understanding the natural world that we inhabit. As a young boy, he was hit in the eye by the dorsal fin of a Pin search and went partially bl ind. He didnt let this hold him back, instead he focused his interest to animals small enough for him to see entirely and up close, something small enough for him to hold between his thumb and pointer finger to inspect. Wilsons interest in nature grew with his age, heearned his B.S. and M. S. degrees at the University of Alabama, and went on to earn his Ph. D. from Harvard University. Wilson wroteOn human Nature, a Pulitzer Prize-winning book on his theory of Sociobiology, explaining how the many characteristics of human and society can be explained from an evolutionary point of view. He explained that all animal behavior, including human behavior, is the outcome of hereditary factors, environmental stimuli, and past experiences. His naturalise faced much resistance from many, as a lot of critics had a hard time pass judgment his theory as it applied to humans.His theory rejects the previously established doctrine of tabula rasa,which holds that human beings are innate(p) a clean slate, and that culture functions to aid in human knowledge, survival, and success. Island biogeography is a field of biogeography that studies species richness in isolated natural areas. This theory examines extinction and migration patterns of different species to isolated areas. Wilsons work has lead to the understanding and occupy for species conservation. His theory led to establishing national parks and the development of habitat corridors.
