Human swarm. The natural history of society. Moffett M.

“This book is devoted to the exciting and important topic for any person - self -awareness as part of society and the consideration of the phenomenon of society under the magnification process in the animal world. Mark Moffett compares human society with social entities of public insects, and these comparisons are quite appropriate. And its subsequent interest in the construction of social systems in a wide circle of vertebrates, from fish to humanoid monkeys, is not accidental. As an evolutionist, his interests are related to the identification of the causes and factors affecting the transformation of social behavior in different taxa, the role of ecology in the complication of social ties, with the search for connections between morphological and psychological transformations, which ultimately led to the emergence of our type. A reasonable person, unique in his development of speech, culture, technology and art. Unique in the desire to know the secrets of the endless universe... but continuing to remain defenseless in the world of conflicts and violence, which he himself generated. " (M. L. Butovskaya)

“Despite the fact that humanity has passed from small societies to huge, we have retained the supernatural ability to understand who is corresponding to them and who did not. It is good or bad, but for reasons that I hope to clarify, distinctive features remain, along with the same obvious and often destructive differences that exist inside the societies themselves. The way we approach the consideration of similarities and differences determines the nature and future of societies. ” (Mark Moffett)
