On Human Nature (1978; second edition 2004) is a book by the biologist E. O. Wilson, in which the author attempts to explain human nature and society through sociobiology. Wilson argues that evolution has left its traces on characteristics such as generosity, self-sacrifice, worship and the use of sex for pleasure, and proposes a sociobiological explanation of homosexuality. The book won the Pulitzer Prize in 1979.

  • 《論人性》(On Human Nature)是生物學家艾德華·威爾森 所著。在其大作社會生物學中,威爾森將觀察自螞蟻等社會性生物的結果引用自人類身上,結果招致眾怒,並在一次演講中遭到大學部學生當頭澆下一桶浮著冰塊的冷水。論人性一書是在事件過後,威爾森對人類科學潛心研究而提出之答辯。 在本書中,艾德華·威爾森提出對手學科的概念,認為生物學家要瞭解生物的性質,就要對化學有所研究,因為化學是生物的對手學科,許許多多生物機制的微觀面都是化學作用所組成;化學家要對化學作用有深切的瞭解,就必需要對物理有一般性的瞭解,因為物理是化學的對手學科。要對人的行為有深入的瞭解,甚至能經由教育的方法改變一個人的思想與行為,就要對生物學有基本的認識。 (zh)

  • On Human Nature é um livro de 1979, vencedor do Prémio Pulitzer, escrito pelo biólogo da Universidade de Harvard, Edward Osborne Wilson. A obra tenta explicar como diferentes características dos humanos e das sociedades humanas podem ser explicadas do ponto de vista da evolução. Wilson afronta velhos preconceitos e falsos juízos actuais acerca do debate natureza versus ambiente. Explica como a evolução deixou as suas marcas em características tipicamente humanas tais como o uso do sexo pelo prazer, a generosidade, o altruísmo e aspectos relacionados com o culto. O livro é visto como um esforço com vista a comple(men)tar a revolução Darwiniana ao trazer o pensamento biológico para as ciências sociais e humanas. (pt)
