EUsociality - The Highest Level Of Social Organization

Common To Ants, Bees, And Termites

I stumbled upon this term eusociality today (3/2/2013) on Wikipedia which is defined as “a term used for the highest level of social organization in a hierarchical classification. Eusociality is characterized by cooperative brood care, overlapping adult generations and division of labor by reproductive and (partially) non-reproductive groups.”.

Just A Pure Coincidence

The EU (European Union) is some kind of sociality or is it? Given its top down, statist, centralist, and elitist approach a comparison with an ant colony is not so far from the point.
