Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Herbert Spencer

From the 19th century, who coined term super-organic.

It has practically nothing to do with the biological concept involving eusociality. So, no, humans aren't eusocial creatures: etymological fallacy.

You're carrying out a similar fallacy by claiming use of the term in its original field is illigitimate in this argument. On top of that, right on the wikipedia page for Eusociality, it states that biologists such as E.O. Wilson have previously argued that humans are weakly eusocial, weakening your whole argument in the first place.

The concept of humans as super-organisms is explored in both sociology and biology, and i'd argue that that means humans fit the bill. Whatever no-true-Scotsman version you've been gate keeping with doesn't even fully agree with the field you're supposedly arguing on the behalf of.
