A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Study of group life of lower animals, e.g.. ants, bees, monkeys etc.

This topic examines how lower animals live in groups, organise roles, communicate, cooperate, compete, and survive together. For the exam, you should master the major patterns of group life in animals such as ants, bees, and monkeys, because these examples help explain basic principles of social behaviour, leadership, division of labour, dominance, and group survival.
