Abstract
Abstract The paper contends that man is most differentiated from other species in the nature of his sociality. In support of this thesis, the modes of social organization and the dynamics of evolutionary change in man and other animals are compared. The concluding section argues that man's material progress is due to his unique ability to employ modes of social organization which, by dealing effectively with the common property problem, permit the generation of ‘surplus’.
