Etymology
Sociobiologically comes from socio- meaning 'social' and bio meaning 'life', with -logy meaning 'study' and -ically showing 'in this way'. So, to look at behavior sociobiologically is to study social actions as part of living things, thinking about how they help animals or people survive or have young.
