Abstract
For a socially living animal, survival requires that its actions be appropriately coordinated in both space and time with the actions of other group members. In general, the achievement of an adaptive harmony of action among members of social groups is required. The achievement of a harmony of action would presumably require the operation of psychobiological mechanisms on a variety of levels. These mechanisms give rise to the behavioral coordination characteristic of dyadic, triadic, and other subgroup relations. The coherent coordination of these social units constitutes the complex unity of the overall social group. It is to this multiform and yet unified life space that the socially living animal must adapt.
