Only Full-Sibling Families Evolved Eusociality
Nature, 2011 Arising from M. A. Nowak, C. E. Tarnita and E. O. Wilson 466, 1057-1062 (2010); Nowak et al. reply. The paper by Nowak et al. has the evolution of eusociality as its title, but it is mostly about something else. It argues against inclusive fitness theory

Advanced Eusociality, Kin Selection and Male Haploidy
Australian Journal of Entomology, 2008 The generation-long primacy of kin selection in explaining the evolution of advanced eusociality in social insects has been challenged in recent papers. Does this challenge succeed?

Kinship, Parental Manipulation and Evolutionary Origins of Eusociality [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2015 One of the hallmarks of eusociality is that workers forego their own reproduction to assist their mother in raising siblings. This seemingly altruistic behaviour may benefit workers if gains in indirect fitness from rearing siblings outweigh the loss of ...

Human Nature, 2014
For more than 100,000 years, H. sapiens lived as foragers, in small family groups with low reproductive variance. A minority of men were able to father children by two or three women; and a majority of men and women were able to breed. But after the origin of farming around 10,000 years ago, reproductive variance increased. In civilizations which began

On the Evolution of Multicellularity and Eusociality
Artificial Life, 1999In this article versions of the abstract NKC model are used to examine the conditions under which two significant evolutionary phenomena—multicellularity and eusociality—are likely to occur and why. First, comparisons in evolutionary performance are made between simulations of unicellular organisms and very simple multicellular-like organisms, under ...

Ancestral Monogamy Shows Kin Selection Is Key to the Evolution of Eusociality
Science, 2008 Close relatedness has long been considered crucial to the evolution of eusociality. However, it has recently been suggested that close relatedness may be a consequence, rather than a cause, of eusociality.

Vocal flexibility in a eusocial rodent
Learning & Behavior, 2022Vocal production learning-the ability to learn new sounds-is fundamental to human communication and is also seen in many nonhuman species, including birds, bats, elephants, and marine mammals. A new paper in Science may add an unusual rodent species-the naked mole rat-to this list.

Mammalian eusociality: a family affair
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1994Comparative studies of two species of mole-rat are helping to clarify the ecological correlates of mammalian eusociality. Both species live in social groups composed of close kin, within which breeding is restricted to one female and one to three males. They inhabit xeric areas with dispersed, patchy food and unpredictable rainfall.

Thelytokous Parthenogenesis in Eusocial Hymenoptera
Annual Review of Entomology, 2013Female parthenogenesis, or thelytoky, is particularly common in solitary Hymenoptera. Only more recently has it become clear that many eusocial species also regularly reproduce thelytokously, and here we provide a comprehensive overview. Especially in ants, thelytoky underlies a variety of idiosyncratic life histories with unique evolutionary and ...

Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics, 1984
Eusociality is characterized by overlapping adult generations, cooperative brood care, and more or less nonreproductive workers or helpers (96, 151). Evolutionists have long recognized that the presence of sterile workers is difficult to explain by traditional individual selection (128).
