    DescriptionAll animals show some kind of social behaviour. They compete for scarce resources, like food or shelter, but may also cooperate. Biologists have long studied how behaviour can increase the fitness of animals, which is usually defined as their ability to pass on their genes to subsequent generations. In a new book that has been 10 years in the making, three biologists describe the many dimensions that shape the evolution of social behaviour.
