title: [From becoming to being: energy conditions for the evolution of social relations in the animal kingdom].
abstract: In the evolution of the animal kingdom and of Man there have been four striking changes in orientation, each accompanied by (amongst other things) marked changes in the flow rates and distribution of energy. An analysis of the alterations in the turnover and distribution of energy reveals that with each such revolution the role of the individual and his social demands gained in importance as compared to that of the germ line.
