@hopihoekstra @HarvardOEB @MCZHarvard E.O. Wilson was Truly a giant in social biology! As a 2nd year grad student in 1991 I was THRILLED to get an actual letter addressed to me from E.O. Wilson- autographed. It was a desk rejection from PNAS for my first paper submitted. I have the letter to this day.
