Socio-biological theory

an interdisciplinary concept that combines biology, psychology and sociology to understand human behavior in the context of social relations. This theory is based on the premise that many forms of social behavior, including cooperation, conflict, reproduction, and emotional desires, have an evolutionary biological basis and have been shaped by natural selection to ensure the survival of the species and adaptive success. This theory was developed primarily by biologist Edward O. Wilson in the 1970s and later expanded to include applications in social and evolutionary psychology, an analytical concept that explains human social behavior based on the interaction of biological factors, genes, and evolutionary factors, emphasizing that the actions of individuals in societies are driven by innate biological tendencies aimed at increasing survival, reproduction, and conservation of resources. and that these actions manifest themselves in relations of cooperation, competition, mating and social integration.
