The social lives of animals : how co-operation conquered the natural world (engelsk)


Beskrivelse


Some animal societies hold a mirror up to the human world: elephants hold funerals for departed family members. Pinyon jays run collective creches. Rats will go out of their way to help a cold, wet stranger. Other lifestyles can seem intensely alien. In this book, biologist Ashley Ward takes us on a tour across the globe as he searches for a more accurate picture of how animals build societies.
