While the sociobiological points that you raise are of great interest to me due to my primary education in that subject, shall keep away from any further discussion on it because this is not the forum.

I understand that the concept of vedant can be simple put as equalizing our consciouness with that of the universe. This is what I think is meant by the equation of the atman with the brahman. So I was wondering if there some kind of partial merger of atmans in assemblages like social organisms. From an Indic viewpoint this appears plausible. Like Arjuna and Krishna communicating on the night Abhimanyu was killed.
