Examples
-
This method of determining sex, called haplodiploidy, ensures that sisters are more closely related to each other than to their own off-spring.
SuperCooperators Martin A. Nowak 2011
-
Other insects also use haplodiploidy as the sex-determining mechanism, notably bees and wasps.
SuperCooperators Martin A. Nowak 2011
-
He showed that the unusually cooperative behavior of Hymenoptera (bees, ants, and wasps) could be explained by haplodiploidy, the peculiar genetic system that characterizes these species.

It is only in populations with high genetic commonality that you see such behavior-either species reproducing via haplodiploidy or in the case of naked mole rats.

If humans had collectively shared the greater degree of genetic relatedness common to many of the social insects (haplodiploidy), then we might already

So haplodiploidy is neither necessary nor sufficient for the evolution of sociality.
