Was Wilson claiming that genetic variation within modern humans accounted for behavior variation within modern humans, other than in the case of male-female differences? I haven't read Sociobiology, but I don't remember hearing that claim attributed to him.

Perhaps the Against Sociobiology letter made valid arguments against the version of Sociobiology that it described. But was that the version put forth by Wilson, as the letter claimed?
