Fission-fusion society

Okay kiddo, let's talk about fission-fusion society!

First, we need to know what fission and fusion are. Fission is when something big breaks apart into smaller pieces. Kind of like a cookie being split into smaller cookie pieces. Fusion is when two things come together to make something bigger. Like when you put two puzzle pieces together to make a bigger picture.

Now, let's talk about society. Society is a group of people who live and work together.

In a fission-fusion society, it means that the people in the society sometimes break apart and form smaller groups for a while, then come back together to form a bigger group again. It's kind of like when you play with different groups of friends at recess, but then come back together with all your classmates in the classroom.

Animals like dolphins and chimpanzees have fission-fusion societies. They might break apart into smaller groups to find food or play, but then come back together with their whole group to rest or travel.

So, fission-fusion society is just a way of animals living together by sometimes staying in small groups and other times being in a big group. It's like playing with different friends at recess and coming back together in the classroom with all your classmates.
