Genesis: The Deep Origin of Societies by Edward O. Wilson

This book is about the evolution eusocial animals--the first of which were termites (ants came a lot later). I appreciated the concise history and genuinely found everything understandable and interesting. Only the last 25 pages actually focused on humanity though.

Interesting but audiobook reader was dry as a bone and I’m not that convinced by EO’s arguments

Would be a 4 but lots of jargon that I didn't understand

I liked the material, but Hogan's voice tends to drone so I had to rewind a few times.

Tons of fascinating information here. Edward Wilson did a great job laying out this dense topic in a way that was easy to understand for non-science folks. I especially loved learning about the complexities in ant, termite, and bee colonies! Definitely will be picking up some more of his books!
