Edward Osborne Wilson was a renowned American biologist, researcher, and author specializing in myrmecology (the study of ants).
A Harvard professor and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, Wilson made significant contributions to entomology, sociobiology, and biodiversity conservation.
He was known for his scientific work, environmental advocacy, and secular-humanist perspectives on religious and ethical matters.
Wilson's interdisciplinary approach bridged biology, sociology, and philosophy, influencing fields beyond his primary expertise.
His numerous books and articles popularized complex scientific concepts for general audiences, establishing him as a leading public intellectual in the latter half of the 20th century and early 21st century.
