Q 1.
Addition of new members:
Meerkats display functions very similar to humans. The meerkats top female, Flower is the only who reproduces and has babies. For example Flower does not want other females having babies because this could jeopardize the chances of survival for her baby meerkats. Meerkats mate the same way humans do which is another similarity to the human race.

The meerkas show anger, confusion and fear in specific situations, much like humans would.
Behavior:
Meerkats show behavior and social control much like humans by setting roles and discipline towards fellow meerkats. For example, when the teenage meerkats take the meerkat pup and abandon him they get in trouble afterwards. Much like if a human teen abandoned a baby on the street, they too would certainly be in trouble and disciplined. Mitch takes care of the babies and hides them deep in the burrow when danger strikes showing control over the meerkat babies.
Love:
Many of the meerkats display love towards each other just like humans would. Flower takes care of her babies and shows them love by raising them into smart adult meerkats. The meerkats rub the hind ends together against other meerkats to declare ownership or dominance. You could compare that to the human tradition of getting married, claiming someone for the
