Choose shrew-like creatures as more sociable ancestors! (Earth Times) (1 Viewer)

It isn’t just about apes. The whole study of animal society has been based on dogs, cattle and our close relatives. Social behaviour undoubtedly began in another mammal group, even if it then became extinct. Investigating such behavioural structures has apparently totally neglected the very obvious, early small mammals that could well have advanced at least to the primate level, and we even left out the small species still here for us to observe.
