E. O. Wilson, a biologist died in December 2021. Biophilia, and sociobiology were two of his most significant ideas. In the last weeks of his life, we marked his death. Science Shows. Today, Richard Lewontin (also a critic of his) argues that biological determinism doesn’t prove scientific in a recording from 1984. ABC Science’s Belinda Smith updates us on the current views on intelligence and the importance of IQ tests.
