A review by abalvarez
Genesis: The Deep Origin of Societies by Edward O. Wilson

5.0

Books by certain scientists always make me very happy. Sometimes it is just the wonder with which they approach a subject or maybe it is a favorite subject of mine and anything about it makes me happy. [a:Edward O. Wilson|31624|Edward O.

He has a way of describing important topics in a way that leaves you feeling that you have both learned something important and understand it in a way you never did before. Genesis, a short book by any measure, discusses creation, cooperation, altruism, and many other intertwined subjects as Wilson teaches us what has been discovered in genetics and behavior in non-human species that so directly reflect who we are and what we can expect to learn from them.
An awesome book. Much better written than this review. Buy it. Read it. Discuss it. Loan it. Gift it. Whatever. Learn it and learn from it. An enjoyable read.
