HIS book is not intended as an exhaustive review T f facts. I ts
aim is rather the presentation of a bio logical approach to the
phenomena of social behaviour. This type of approach was revived by
Lorenz's pioneer stnJies. It is characterized by emphasis on the
need for renewed and careful observation of the huge variety of
social phenomena occurring in nature; by emphasis on a balanced
study of the three main biological problems (unction, causation,
evolution; by emphasis on an appro priate sequence of description,
qualitative analysis, quanti tative analysis; and finally by
emphasis on the need for continuous re-synthesis. The character of
this approach, combined with the limitations of space, have
determined this book's contents. Limits of space led to the
omission of a great deal of de scrip tion. Thus, Deegener's
voluminous work on the multitude of types of animal aggregations
has not been discussed. Also, the highly specialized 'states' of
social insects have not been treated in detail, since there are
excellent books dealing exclusively with them."
