Evolution of odorant receptor repertoires across Hymenoptera – including bees, wasps and ants - is not linked to the evolution of eusociality: https://t.co/jjlIMO6FM0 #ProcB #OpenAccess @GautamKShubham @Dorylophile @Jules_For_Fools @Pangapaco @EvanEconomo https://t.co/ZjOd6s4DPR
And the same quirk that allows the evolution of eusociality means that male bees can have grandfathers and grandsons but can literally never have fathers or sons. No male bee has a dad but they all have a granddad https://t.co/hSwtmRSS0C

Beehives have a queen but no king bee. This video explains the role of the queen, drone origin from unfertilized eggs, and the sex determination system in honeybees based on haplodiploidy.
Overdetermined, but the general driver is a shift towards memetic rather than genetic self-reproduction strategies, constituting in some ways the evolution of eusociality in the most cosmopolitan parts of society. https://t.co/85BNdHnKoJ

@SanguineChester @juliet_turner6 You are retarded. Studying the evolution of eusociality is extremely based.
@pachabelcanon Ant ethology is SUPER important for thinking about Natural Law and the evolution of eusociality. Humans are kinda "the eusocial primate". Agriculture. War. Slavery. Domesticating other species. Etc... People say "ONLY humans do this... oh... i guess also ants too... hehe".
The only species that share with humans this degree of complex and cooperative societies are eusocial insects. Its extremely easy to see the value of studying the evolution of eusociality -even for a society-is-collapsing reactionary. https://t.co/ZYseLhpNW8

Theoretical results show that the observed benefits of helping readily allow for the evolution of eusociality, although most readily so with alleles of large effect (penetrance parameter P=1, bottom row) & under single mating (me=1), when sib-sib relatedness is high. https://t.co/Jnd5mDfYBk

@DialecticBio With Wilson's dramatic 2010 repudiation of Hamilton's Rule in "The Evolution Of Eusociality", he effectively acknowledged that his most famous work was deeply flawed. How can people deny that sociobiology, as it was originally formulated anyway, is in total disarray?
An entomologist used his understanding of the evolution of eusociality in bees, ants, and wasps to predict how eusociality would evolve in vertebrates, what a eusocial vertebrate would eat, what it's environment would be like, where it would live geographically, and how it would behave.
