I knew Wilson (a grad of West End High School in Birmingham, in the mid 60s, when I was UU Minister to Students of Boston, including Harvard. I disagreed sharply (and still do) with his sociobiology, which leaves no room for either freedom or love.

However, he is for the environment, and that's good!
