Abstract

The long-term debate in philosophy about the dominance of nature or culture in In the twentieth century, the determination of human behavior received important impulses from various circles receive. Recent insights from evolutionary biology, especially sociobiology, are fueling this debate involved in a heated dispute Most sociobiologists have namely to the issue took a firm stand on the factors that determine human social behavior. They explained that much of human social behavior is determined by heredity influence and can therefore be better explained biologically than by mere social science. This thesis touches on the roots of the controversy surrounding sociobiology. The controversy over sociobiology applied to humans has made it clear that key problems in the social sciences not through reductionist analysis biologists could explain it. Thus, human sociobiology has reached a dead end. To break the impasse, EO Wilson proposed a new anthropology. Her The rules can be summarized as follows: All areas of human life have a physical basis in the brain and are part of it human biology; Most or all forms of perception and thinking are genetically programmed affected processes; The structure of intellectual development is formed over many generations Coevolution of genes and cultures, where genes and culture change together To have; The influence of genes does not eliminate free will: by genes over epigenetics Principles influence culture, create the possibility of making informed choices; Predispositions result from interactions between certain groups of genes and environment: can be deliberately modified if the appropriate mechanisms are in place are known. Ethical principles are based on these predispositions and can also be deliberately changed; A well-established anthropology could produce a more refined form social manipulation that touches the deepest levels of human motivation and
moral judgment. An in-depth analysis of the above theses indicates that the theses of E. Wilson the proposed new anthropology brings classical sociobiology closer to its scientific goal creating a theory of society. This brings Wilson back to his roots Controversies around human sociobiology.
