Indeed, [[E. O. Wilson]]'s book ''Sociobiology: The New Synthesis'' appeared in 1975, and since that time the study of behaviour has been much more concerned with social aspects. It has also been driven by the stronger, but more sophisticated, Darwinism associated with Wilson and [[Richard Dawkins]]. The related development of behavioural [[ecology]] has also helped transform ethology. Furthermore, a substantial rapprochement with comparative [[psychology]] has occurred, so the modern scientific study of behaviour offers a more or less seamless [[spectrum]] of approaches – from animal [[cognition]] to more traditional comparative psychology, ethology, sociobiology and behavioural ecology. Sociobiology has more recently developed into evolutionary psychology. | Indeed, [[E. O.
