Summary of Edward O. Wilson's The Social Conquest of Earth

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 The origin and meaning of humanity is a great riddle that humanity cannot solve. Religion will never solve it. Since Paleolithic times, each tribe has invented its own creation myth to explain their existence.

#2 The great riddle of the human condition cannot be solved by introspection. It can only be solved by recourse to the mythic foundations of religion, or by the scientific process.

#3 The questions of where we came from and what we are can be answered by bringing together information from multiple disciplines, ranging from molecular genetics, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology to archaeology, ecology, social psychology, and history.
