Most instinctual behavior seems biological to me (except if there
is a language instinct). It's not that I don't see anything in
common with ants but all this seems biological to me.
I think just because it involves another we want to extend it to
social--- I am hesitant to do this.
Example. Mother and her baby. There are some things a mother
will instinctually know what to do to care for her baby and others
will be socially learned.
Were these labor divisions, goals, structures showing creativity or
were they very rigid and fixed?
I don't know a lot about insects but somebody's choice to become
a doctor is not like the division I imagine with ants.
