Sociobiology is an interdisciplinary field that examines the biological basis of social behavior in animals and humans. It was popularized by the biologist Edward O. Wilson in his 1975 book, "Sociobiology: The New Synthesis." The central premise of sociobiology is that social behaviors, such as mating patterns, altruism, and aggression, can be understood through the principles of evolutionary biology and natural selection.
