No scientist alive today has done more than Harvard biologist E.O. Wilson to promote the understanding of biodiversity and its conservation. At 82, Wilson comes to Aspen after a year that included an expedition to Papua New Guinea and two to Mozambique's Gorongosa National Park. Wilson will talk about ants, sociobiology, "group" vs. kin selection—and his somewhat controversial new book The Social Conquest of Earth with Aspen Institute's Executive Vice President, Elliot Gerson.
