Wilson, who died a few months ago, was also quite racist. Although I respect his advocacy for ecological preservation, he should probably have stuck to his specialty of ants instead of pretending to be an authority on people.
Thanks for posting. I had not heard about this. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for further input. Meyers can sometimes be a bit of an ideologue himself. If Wilson was a racist, then shame on him for that, but it doesn’t necessarily then weaken every other argument he ever made about anything. Goes to show why we shouldn’t make heroes of humans, because they’re all… human.
Every. Last. One.
