Description

Edward O. Wilson's Genesis explores the origins of human societies by tracing the evolutionary histories of nonhuman species.

The author identifies seventeen eusocial species, including the African naked mole rat and the termite, which have advanced societies based on altruism, cooperation, and division of labour.

By studying these species, Wilson argues that we can gain insights into human behaviour and our own social patterns, shedding new light on the development of language and the possible biological benefits of certain social structures.
