	Consilience: The Unity of Knowledge by Edward O. Wilson
		Wilson calls this common groundwork of explanation that crosses all the great branches of learning "consilience," and he argues that we can indeed explain everything in the world through an understanding of a handful of natural laws.
		In a book that is truly a magnum opus, Wilson is concerned with an even bigger project, the unification of all knowledge by the means of science, so that the explanations of differing kinds of phenomena are seen to be connected and consistent with one another--that is, to be consilient.
		Wilson and others have defended and refined sociobiology over the years to such a point that it is now a dictionary word, and a new generation of so-called evolutionary psychologists accept it as given.

		Wilson is fascinated by early memories, not trusting them but still enthralled at the mythologies we build around ourselves; he cannot resist the point where his genetic inheritance meets his own experience as an individual - which includes his childhood religious phase - a point which his research has focused on.
		Wilson's particular hero was Ernst Mayr, the architect of neo-Darwinism and later a colleague at Harvard.
		Wilson isn't a determinist who believes that life is purely mechanistic, and he isn't right-wing - he remains a Democrat and fears the environmental worst from the George Bush presidency.

		Although Wilson did instruct two young Ojibwa men as catechists, and another, John Jacobs, was ordained in 1869 and placed in charge of the Kettle Point mission, he appears not to have been entirely convinced of the virtue of Venn’s policy.
		Wilson believed that adult natives were a bad influence on their children, and he advocated compulsory attendance and shorter summer vacations.
		Wilson deserves to be remembered for a number of reasons: for his attempt to implement the native church policy of Venn and the CMS, for the significance of his residential schools, and for his work as an early Canadian ethnologist.

		Edward O. Wilson, born in 1929, began his career as a scientist and while still young became a tenured professor at Harvard specializing in myrmecology, the study of ants and their social systems.
		Wilson's belief that the hope of humanity lies in traditional religionists adopting more science and environmentalists appealing more to humankind's spiritual impulses comes at a crucial moment for the environmental movement.
		Wilson is also unusual among scientists for his emphasis on the importance of the spiritual impulse, both as an evolutionary advantage central to human nature and as a key to hope for the future.

	Discovery 2000: Dr. Edward Wilson
		Edward Wilson, internationally regarded as the preeminent biological theorist of the late 20th century, and certainly one of the great naturalists in American history, earned his bachelor's and master's degrees, both in biology, from the University of Alabama, and earned his Ph.D. in biology from Harvard University.
		Wilson's career as an author and novel biological thinker began with his 1967 book, The Theory of Island Biogeography (written with the late ecologist Robert MacArthur), which provided the scientific foundation for all subsequent discussion of the decline of ecosystems.
		Alarmed by the stunning loss of species around the world in our century (Wilson has estimated that we will lose 20 percent of the world's species in the next 23 years), he has become an eloquent and powerful voice decrying the murder of our fellow creatures.

		Wilson's sociobiology was seen as a new rationale for the evils of eugenics and he was ostracized in the social science and humanities departments of colleges and universities throughout the United States and elsewhere.
		Wilson's primary "sin" is the unmitigated directness of his expression and his refusal to use the shield and obfuscation of politically correct language.

		Wilson's defenders emphasize the importance of his intellectual synthesis—of Sociobiology's vast web of data and analysis, encompassing species from bacteria to humans.
		Someday, Wilson believes, the cause-and-effect principles of psychology will rest solidly and specifically on those of biology, which will rest with equal security on principles of biochemistry and molecular biology, and so on down the line to particle physics.
		Wilson is a lapsed Southern Baptist—Christianity yielded to Darwinism during his undergraduate years—but in the end his salvation has nonetheless come through faith.

	Edward O. Wilson's Biophilia Hypothesis
		A somewhat controversial hypothesis put forward by Edward Wilson is the idea that humans evolved as creatures deeply enmeshed with the intricacies of nature, and that we still have this affinity with nature ingrained in our genotype.
		Edward O. Wilson, a Harvard University entomologist, coined the term "biophilia", referring to humans' "love of living things" - our innate affinity with nature.
		Howard Frumkin recently build upon Wilson's biophilia hypothesis by citing research evidence consistent with nature having beneficial physical and mental health benefits on people [link goes to Google search for "Frumkin and Nature"].
