I´m spanish. Since twenty years ago I have read all books written by E.O Wilson.

(included Sociobiology :-))

I can consider that he´s my intelectual father.

The first book I read was BIOPHILIA.

This book had so much influence in my life that my ideas about biology changed completely.

I discovered that Biology is also poetry.

Thank you Mr. Wilson.

My Eureka moment was aiding in sequencing a bacteria genome for a bacterium that would help prevent crop destruction. And I got to do this my freshman year:D

Think of the underlying law of nature. The way of all things.

Consider its astounding inferences and implications.

The single, underlying law ... of nature! Not merely of physics, chemistry, psychology, biology, etc., but of all known fields of inquiry. The law we can all relate to, identify, understand and apply.

Ask yourself. What is the underlying law of nature?

Delight in the question. Have fun in the process of finding the answer firsthand for yourself.

Google it, as a start.
