At age 78, E.O. Wilson is still going through his "little savage"
phase of boyhood exploration of the natural world. In "Lord of the
Ants," NOVA profiles this soft-spoken Southerner and Harvard
professor, who is an acclaimed advocate for ants, biological
diversity, and the controversial extension of Darwinian ideas to
human society. Actor and environmentalist Harrison Ford narrates this
engaging portrait.

Here's what you'll find on the companion Web site:
