Sociobiology
Sociobiology refers to the field of scientific study that is founded up on the assumption that social behavior stems in from the evolution and attempts to explain and to examine animals social behavior within a specific context. It is often considered as a branch of biology and sociology, the ethology is however also drawn from anthropology, zoology, evolution, population genetics, archaeology, and other disciplines. Within the domain of study of human societies, sociobiology is very closely connected to the fields of human behavioral ecology, Darwinian anthropology, and evolutionary psychology.
The discipline of sociobiology aims at investigating the social behaviors, which includes mating patterns, pack hunting, territorial fights, and the hive society of social insects. It put forward the argument that just as selection pressure led to animals in the process of evolving useful ways of interacting with the natural environment, it has also led to the genetic evolution of beneficial social behavior.
