Archival documents show that Wilson was a strong supporter of scientific racist Philippe Rushton. Were his critics right all along in their critiques of sociobiology?
Thanks for this very interesting perspective! I like the fact that you are clear about the fact that Wilson's behaviour in supporting Rushton et al. was racist behaviour on Wilson's part.
One question, I've heard it said that the pitcher of water was dumped on Wilson's head by "the Science of the People" folk. Do you have any information on the veracity of this claim?
