Yes, but what does this have to do with evolutionary psychology? The wiki article on Wilson never mentions evolutionary psychology. When I Google for “Wilson evolutionary psychology”, I find this complaint that Wilson doesn’t like “evolutionary psychology” even though the author wants to claim Wilson as the founder of the discipline.
“Today, my only complaint is that Wilson has never really embraced the word usage of “evolutionary psychology” and prefers that we consider it nothing more than “human sociobiology”.”
Sociobiology came first—evolutionary psychology is a more modern offshoot that only deals with human universals and mostly ignores human culture.
