Genesis : the deep origin of societies / by Wilson, Edward O.,author.(CARDINAL)138801; Kaspari, Debby Cotter,illustrator.(CARDINAL)608173;
Asserting that religious creeds and philosophical questions can be reduced to purely genetic and evolutionary components, and that the human body and mind have a physical base obedient to the laws of physics and chemistry, "Genesis" demonstrates that the only way for us to fully understand human behavior is to study the evolutionary histories of nonhuman species. Of these, Wilson demonstrates that at least seventeen-among them the African naked mole rat and the sponge- dwelling shrimp-have been found to have advanced societies based on altruism and cooperation. Whether writing about midges who ٢dance about like acrobats٣ or schools of anchovies who protectively huddle ٢to appear like a gigantic fish,٣ or proposing that human society owes a debt of gratitude to ٢postmenopausal grandmothers٣ and ٢childless homosexuals,٣ "Genesis" is a pithy yet path-breaking work of evolutionary theory, braiding twenty-first-century scientific theory with the lyrical biological and humanistic observations for which Wilson is known.Includes bibliographical references and index.

Animals that live in social groups / by Kalman, Bobbie,author.(CARDINAL)181024;
"One of the biggest adaptations made by some animals is to live and work together as a group to ensure their survival. This intriguing book shows how social animals communicate and interact with members of their own species. Elephants, dolphins and orcas, monkeys, apes, lions, and wolves, educate their young, work together to find food, and take care of their group members. Smaller animals that work together in microsocieties include termites, ants, bees, and wasps. Students will have fun comparing their own social groups to those found in nature. Fascinating photographs accompany thought-provoking questions and activities."--Ages 8-11.Grades 4 to 6.IG860LAccelerated Reader AR
