Popis:	In rodents, the evolution of sociality refers to the transition from solitary living to a family-group lifestyle that is characterized by the most complicated social organizations. Variation in rodent behavior related to the evolution of sociality results from the operation of neuroendocrine mechanisms that lead to epigenetic (re)programming of the behavior and, subsequently, the emergence of new, heritable phenotypes as a basis for further selection. In this article, the epigenetic effects on rodent behavior promoting the formation of a family-group social organization and, consequently, the evolution of sociality in rodents, are considered.
