Sociobiology is the study of the biological basis of social behavior. Sociobiologists attempt to trace the origins of behavior to biological strategies for maximizing the survival and proliferation of genes. Biological determinants of group-level associative and discriminatory behaviors, including racial segregation, are among the variety of topics addressed by sociobiological theories.
