Edward O. Wilson
Edward O.Wilson died on December 26, 2021, at the age of 92. He has been called "Darwin's natural heir." He was also a lover of ants. I find it amazing that he learned so much about humans and other animals by studying those tiny insects. I hope you get a chance to look at the links I have posted below.
Here is a five-minute YouTube video of Wilson:

Wilson was the founder of sociobiology, which he defined as "the systematic study of the biological basis of all social behavior." Here is an article from Evolution News on the topic:
