Story Notes
In The Early Asimov, the author notes that Astounding editor John W. Campbell insisted on rewriting sections of Homo Sol to bring the story closer in line with his own racial views. In time, Asimov understood what Campbell was doing, and thereafter he avoided submitting stories with alien characters to Astounding. He also points out that in "Homo Sol" he first broached the concept of psychology being developed into a mathematically rigorous science, an idea he incorporated into his later Foundation stories.
