sociality
Communal living instinct
Sociality is the tendency to form social groups and live in communities rather than in isolation.
The term appears mainly in scientific contexts—biology, anthropology, sociology—describing how organisms organize themselves: Ants exhibit complex sociality.
It encompasses the behaviors, structures, and instincts that enable group living, from insect colonies to human societies.
