During Wilson’s talk titled “Generalized Darwinism: A New Paradigm for Positive Cultural Change," he will share how evolution’s survival of the fittest theory has moved from a presumption of selfishness toward a model that prioritizes social cooperation. The event will be held Oct. 18 at 4 p.m. in the Lewis Scholars Lounge.

"If most antisocial behaviors are locally advantageous," writes Wilson, "and most prosocial behaviors are locally disadvantageous, then we have an enormous problem explaining the nature of prosociality, including the nature of human morality, from an evolutionary perspective."
