This is a short 'bonus post' for this week, since I came across this article in Science Daily after I already posted for this week, plus if I'm remembering correctly Durkheim's primary discussion of hereditary succession was in the previous week's readings, although it did resurface this week as he discussed ways in which division of labor are corrupted. Apparently, hyenas use the advantages their parents have gained in order to gain their own higher place in society, see the Science Daily article. You can also read the article in Behavioral Ecology if you're interested in a more detailed scientific discussion.
