In The Meaning of Human Existence, Edward Osborne Wilson is reported to have attempted answers to the puzzles of human existence namely, who am I? what should I do in life? What is the meaning of life? These interrogatives which have situated the human species on an evolutionary continuum have not been fully answered by humans from time immemorial. Argued pointedly, Osborne acknowledged the fact that science latterly established the origins of Homo sapiens and the ultimate insignificance of the species in the universe though, humans still remained beholden to primitive survival impulses that lacked utility in contemporary society, leading to religious and tribal conflicts.
