　　12. Which of the following best summarizes the author s main point?

　　Understanding the ways in which animals as different as termites and rhesus macaques resemble each other requires train in both biology and sociology.

　　Most animals organize themselves into societies that exhibit patterns of group behavior similar to those of human societies.

　　Animals as different as termites and rhesus macaques follow certain similar and predictable patterns of behavior.
