In their broadest senses, sociobiology and biosociology refer to the modern study of biology as it relates – within a Darwinian framework – to social behavior. Sociobiology is the better-known term, made famous when the New York Times gave prominence to controversy surrounding a 1975 book, Sociobiology: The New Synthesis, by Harvard entomologist E. O. Wilson. Detractors argued that the book revived biological determinism, sexism, racism, and social Darwinism. Here biosociology is the preferred term because, etymologically, it refers to a subdiscipline within sociology, and it avoids the remnant negative connotations of sociobiology.
