Just after the foundation of Sociobiology, there emerged a series of lasting sociobiology debates in world academic circles. But Chinese academic circle kept silence for this quarrel all the time. From the historical background, we know that the sociobiology debate was just a new form of evolutionary debates in 19th century, an inevitable result of the development of western culture. The differences in culture, history backgrounds, and daily lives among China and western country lead to the fact that western academic debates cannot occur in China. However, since a well model of science popularization should have debates, Chinese science popularization workers need to put force the localization of science spread, with which combined the national conditions, pluralistic culture, traditional arts, and popular issues. We should support the development of local science writer, as well.
