《下沉年代》 点评： 以个体视角，讲述了美国社会是如何被撕裂的，并且向两边拉扯的人都越发坚定地认为自己是对 的。 岁序更迭，书香依旧。和过去几年一样，2026年的第一期天团内容，我们安排的是姜诚的推荐书单。 阅读，尤其是与好书的对话，是站在巨人的肩膀上登高远眺，构建专属于你的"思维格栅"，穿透市场迷 雾，支撑起每一个独立而坚实的投资决策。 以下，是姜诚新一期的推荐书单和点评。 《费马大定理》 点评： 不止讲了大定理被攻克的历史，也是一部数学简史和科普书。人最大的驱动力其实不是实用性， 而是好奇心。 《暮日耀光：张居正与明代中后期政局》 点评： 如何用现实主义的方式实现理想主义的目标？权力如何助人实现目标，又如何腐蚀人性？让人振 奋，又让人唏嘘，更让人扼腕。 点评： 关于利他行为是如何进化产生的，威尔逊反对汉密尔顿提出的亲缘选择理论，他相信群体选择理 论：群体选择演化出社会性，社会性征服了地球。蚂蚁的总重量跟人类的总重量差不多。演化生物学的魅 力在于，新理论不断推翻旧理论，达尔文信徒的最大敌人是其他信徒。 《康熙的红票》 点评： 历史是一个素材库，无论什么理论，在其中总能找到所需的材料，这让当事人视角讲的故事比 ...

Core Insights - Ants are highly successful evolutionary organisms with over 15,000 species, showcasing exceptional social cooperation and organizational intelligence [1] - A recent study led by Chinese scientists published in "Cell" reveals the evolutionary history of ants and the genetic mechanisms behind their social systems [1][2] Group 1: Evolution of Ant Societies - Ants have evolved from simple to highly complex social structures, allowing them to occupy various ecological niches [2] - The basic social structure consists of two main tiers: reproductive and worker classes, with reproductive ants focusing on mating and nesting, while workers perform tasks like foraging and nurturing [2][3] - The original ant societies likely followed a "monogamous" breeding model, which ensured high genetic relatedness among nest members [3] Group 2: Genetic Mechanisms and Social Organization - The division of labor within ant colonies is a result of long-term natural selection, with genetic mechanisms playing a crucial role [3][4] - Approximately 970 gene clusters have remained stable across over 80% of ant species for 157 million years, indicating their importance in social behavior and organizational structure [3] - The evolution of reproductive division has led to further differentiation within worker classes, resulting in specialized roles such as soldier ants [4][5] Group 3: Complex Social Traits and Evolutionary Dynamics - Ants exhibit various social traits, including agriculture (fungus farming), herding (aphid farming), and social parasitism, which contribute to their complex social structures [6] - The study identifies a modular dynamic system where different traits co-evolve, enhancing the complexity of ant societies [6] - The evolutionary process involves changes in selection pressures on genes, leading to the adaptation of certain genes for new functions while others may degenerate [6][7] Group 4: Implications for Understanding Evolution - The evolution of ant societies is considered a miracle of nature, with multi-layered mechanisms of natural selection at play [7] - Insights from ant social structures can provide a theoretical framework for studying the evolution of other social animals [7]
