Palaeontology: The Point of No Return in the Fossil Record of Eusociality
Abstract
The evolution of eusociality is one of the major transitions in the history of life, particularly in the insects. Now, fossil termites and ants from Burmese amber offer insights into early stages of eusociality in the Lower Cretaceous.
