Description
This line of research is very important from a social point of view. The human species is extremely cooperative and presents many mysteries from an evolutionary point of view, some of which can be solved by researching and experimenting on animal models, since there are many similarities between their interests and ours, and in the conclusions. The model used in this line of research is the corvus corone (carrion crow) In Spain, this species breeds cooperatively -they have asissistants who cooperate in the nest to breed the chicks- unlike in the rest of Europe, where monogamous couples work on their own and there isn’t this helpful behavior.Other information
