Eusociality
This is an excerpt from the paper...
Many animals live together socially but true sociality (eusociality) is a special situation (Bees). Eusociality is a specialized reproductive phenomenon found in some species of animals and insects, and has three defining features: cooperative parental care so each one is not caring for its own young; overlap of generations so that the group will survive; and a division of reproductive behavior with sterile castes so not every individual breeds (Bees; Eusociality). It occurs most familiarly in the order Hymenoptera in insects such as ants, bees and wasps which have reproductive queens and sterile workers. The haploidy of these species may make it easier for them to evolve. The mechanism of sex determination in these species results in sisters who share 75 percent of their genes, and have been termed "supersisters." This results in sterile workers being closer to their supersisters than to any offspring they would have if they were to breed. It has been suggested that this "selfish-gene" reproduction means there is a genetic advantage to supersisters, but it also lead
