Abstract
Diverse knowledge have been learned from eusocial insects like the ants. The division of labor, characteristic of eusocial species, is a consequence of the social needs of these insects, and is determined by pheromones influences. Now we may consider that the human species is eusocial. Changes of the individual as consequence of social needs, may be determined by maternal prenatal imprinting. Fetal hippocampus may show modification in the hormonal and neurotransmitter receptors as consequence of the influx of maternal stimulus. Thus, human individuals may have a form of social programming. If the society is modified after birth, the organic brain substrate enters in a situation of discordance. This discordance, according to this hypothesis, may trigger changes in the mental sphere including a form of chronic organic depression.
