Darwin famously described special difficulties in explaining social evolution in insects. More than a century later, the evolution of sociality - defined broadly as cooperative group living - remains one of the most intriguing problems in biology. Providing a unique perspective on the study of social evolution, this volume synthesizes the features of animal social life across the principle taxonomic groups in which sociality has evolved. The chapters explore sociality in a range of species, from ants to primates, highlighting key natural and life history data and providing a comparative view across animal societies. In establishing a single framework for a common, trait-based approach towards social synthesis, this volume will enable graduate students and investigators new to the field to systematically compare taxonomic groups and reinvigorate comparative approaches to studying animal social evolution.

我們身處的現實，只認同特定的行為思想，覺得生性敏感是瑕疵，多愁善感是病態。人人只好在瘋狂的世界中假裝「正常」地生活，做個「正常人」。撕破表面的皮肉，全是扭曲的人心。弱肉強食，我們的社會根本與獸場無異；周旋於往往來來的人群中，卻無處安放孤獨的心。此書名帶「黑暗」，其實不過赤裸的人心真象。直面自己的黑暗面吧！當你接受了自己，你的靈魂便完整了。
