This book is dedicated to the study of individuality and sociability in nature and human society. The desire to be part of a community of like-minded individuals is a common trait among all inhabitants of our planet, from microorganisms to rational humans. By becoming a member of a collective, an individual inevitably loses a certain degree of freedom and independence. How is the conflict between the interests of the individual and society resolved, and what is the relationship between social harmony and social conflict? These are the questions that this book addresses. The unconscious cooperation of organic molecules manifested in the early signs of life on Earth. Billions of years passed, and the planet saw the emergence of fantastically complex "superorganisms" - giant communities of termites and ants, astonishing in the efficiency of their collective creative activities. The book discusses the principles of collective work, as well as the creation of pairs and the continuation of the species in animals. In the final chapter, the reader will learn how human sociability differs from other phenomena of cooperation that permeate the entire living world - from interactions between cells in living organisms to various forms of collectivism among our primate relatives. The book is intended for a wide range of readers interested in the mysteries of the wild nature and the laws governing human society.
