Oh, huh - I thought the Damaraland mole-rats were basically sister species of the naked mole-rats, the two most closely-related species, and so didn’t consider them much. But it looks like that isn’t true—they’re not even the same genus. Maybe they evolved eusociality independently? Going to have to look into this, thanks!
