The quote seems to be:

"Today, my only complaint is that Wilson has never really embraced the word usage of "evolutionary psychology" and prefers that we consider it nothing more than "human sociobiology"."

Sociobiology came first - evolutionary psychology is a more modern offshoot that only deals with human universals and mostly ignores human culture.
