Socio-biology

Socio-biology is a field that studies how biological factors, like genetics and evolution, influence human social behavior and relationships. It suggests that many social behaviors—such as cooperation, competition, and bonding—have evolved because they helped our ancestors survive and reproduce. For example, forming family connections or social groups can increase chances of survival and passing on genes. Socio-biology combines biology with social sciences to understand why people behave the way they do in social contexts, emphasizing that many aspects of human behavior are shaped by our evolutionary history.
