Social Insects From Psychical And Evolutional Points Of View is a book written by Charles Valentine Riley and originally published in 1894. The book explores the behavior and evolution of social insects, such as ants, bees, and termites, from both a psychological and evolutionary perspective. Riley discusses the complex social structures of these insects, including their division of labor, communication methods, and colony organization. He also examines the role of instinct in their behavior and the ways in which natural selection has shaped their social systems over time. Throughout the book, Riley draws on his extensive experience as an entomologist and his observations of social insects in the field. He also incorporates insights from other scientists and thinkers, including Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer. Social Insects From Psychical And Evolutional Points Of View is a seminal work in the study of social insect behavior and remains relevant to contemporary research in the field.
