Abstract

This paper reviews the evolutionary processes that shape the evolution of sociality in mammalian species in an effort to understand the importance of sociality in the lives of modern humans. A body of theory and empirical evidence compiled by behavioral ecologists helps us to understand why (some) other animals live in groups, why group-living animals form differentiated social bonds, how animals benefit from their social connections, and why some individuals are more social than others in their groups. Together, the answers to these questions help us to understand why humans are such social creatures, and why our social connections play such an important role in our lives.

社会纽带的自然历史

本文回顾了哺乳动物物种社会性进化的进化过程，试图理解社会性在现代人类生活中的重要性。行为生态学家汇编的大量理论和经验证据有助于我们理解为什么（一些）其他动物群居，为什么群居动物形成差异化的社会纽带，动物如何从社会联系中受益，以及为什么一些个体在群体中比其他个体更具社会性。总之，这些问题的答案帮助我们理解为什么人类是这样的社会生物，以及为什么我们的社会关系在我们的生活中扮演着如此重要的角色。
