He begins by noting that the damage which we have done to sociobiology has been "abetted by sensationalistic treatments of the field by the media..."Let us deal with this statement, for it is quite remarkable...

However, the origins of this publicity have nothing to do with SftP, but rather lie in a massive media campaign which was orchestrated around the publication of E.O.
