The Human Swarm @3QD [Mark Moffett @ New Savanna]

I’ve just posted my review of The Human Swarm at 3 Quarks Daily: Of Ants And Humans: Some Principles Of Social Organization.

I’ve also written some posts about his previous book, Adventures Among Ants, which is filled with his marvelous photos of ants:

• Moffett & the Ants: Mode, Embedding & Emergent Complexity
• Moffett on Ants 2: Photography as thinking and Conceptual calibration

Here’s a post on a major article Moffett wrote about ant supercolonies, an article which is certainly one of the sources of The Human Swarm:

• Supercolonies, or, What’s a society?

And this is an post I wrote in anticipation of Adventures Among Ants:

• The Busy Bee Brain

You might want to think of that in conjunction with an earlier post on The Human Swarm:

• Reading The Human Swarm 3: A digression about an image with an application to human cultural evolution [#DH]
