Professor Wilson reports his study of  bees. It is found that bees have altruistic behaviour. Professor Wilson believes that it is a  kind of self-sacrifice. Professor Smith, on the other hand, reports his study of chimpanzees. He finds that the apparent altruism is sometimes actually part of  a mutual-aid system.   The panel chair raises the issue of  kin selection. Professor Wilson uses his study of lions to demonstrate the chairman’s point. He points out that even human societies may not be immune to the programming of kin selection. Li Yan and Wing Ling , the two guest audience, ask some questions. Wing Ling wants to know . Professor Wilson points out that human parents sacrifice themselves to their offspring, whereas the bee workers  sacrifice themselves to the bee community. Li Yan continues the contrast by observing the sacrifice of human parents is similar to the altruism shown by chimpanzees. Professor Smith comments on it saying it is of better quality.  nullQuantifier /Unit word a flock of sheep or goats, a herd of cattle, a pack of wolves, a pack of birds, a litter of kittens, a pride of lions, swarm of bees, ants, wasps, a school of fish or dolphins,  Activity 2 There -and-then Communication: the First Extension of Man Man manages to overcome the limits of here-and-now communication by extending himself through writing and printing. Leave speech behind: symbols and alphabets deposit thoughts and wisdom: paper and printing emblem/ symbol, oracle bone inscriptions, instantaneous, in the ancient primitive society, various means sought to record thought. Tribesmen drew and painted on cave walls to convey messages; used signs and symbols to designate tribe or ownership Communication through writing emancipates man from the constraints imposed by the face-to-face distance and the spontaneity of time. Bamboo slates, ce策( a set of bamboo slates stringed together, and 签( plain bamboo slates),牍(wood slates) The printing technique expanded the opportunities for learning and led to radical changes in the way people lived. It contributed to the growth of knowledge, rationalism, scientific inquiry, and literature.   nullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnullnull
