Document Summary
Animal treatment: the principle of treating like cases alike is essential to a consistant moral code; without it, justice is not possible rachels (1984). Italy"s top down cancelling major use of animals in labs. Within 6 months, italian scientists found new ways of researching. Calculations of direct an inclusive fitness primary helper is better off in the long run. Game theory: predicts that all bears should always show hawk but that isn"t always the case in nature. Taxes, reflexes, habituation (jellyfish), instinct, learning (crickets and fish), reasoning (mammals, birds and primates). From those without any level of ganglia to cerebral complexity. Population size and amount of genetic variation increase to jellyfish. Taxes and reflexes variability increases slightly to primates. More behavioural variance in longer lived organisms even though there is less genetic variability. Foraging behaviour is a function of experience and encounters better for longer-lived individuals. Long-lived individuals: each female has different experiences: less predictability in how they pair up.
