ABSTRACT

Wilson, a Harvard entomologist who specializes in social insects. He proposed an approach to behavior for insects as well as humans that was based on a reductionistic view of genetics. When Carl von Linn, familiar through his writings by his Latinized name Carolus Linnaeus (170778), was constructing his great classification system of all living things, he struggled to decide where to put humans. The goal of research in evolutionary psychology is to discover and understand the design of the human mind. Gyula Klima has taken on a reconsideration of Aquinas' concept of the human person as body and soul. Since humans were included in the physical hierarchy of classification it is only natural that our own origin as a species needed to be considered in the light of this model. It had been assumed at the outset of the Human Genome Project (HGP) that we have about 90,000 to 100,000 genes.
