1 | Major Questions to Ponder
To start the class, you have five questions posted around the lab. They are to write their group response in a particular marker color. Then, the class will review the responses. • Some animals are social, like bees, ants, termites, and people. What are the benefits of living in a social group? • Some animals are social, like bees, ants, termites, and people. What are the drawbacks of living in a social group? • What has a greater impact on animal behavior? Genetics? Learning/Environment/Mimicry? Why do you think? • Altruistic behavior is the unselfish concern for other’s well-being, acting to help others with no expectation of reward or personal gain. What about natural selection and evolution makes this rare among mammals? • Altruistic behavior is the unselfish concern for other’s well-being, acting to help others with no expectation of reward or personal gain. Other than people, what animals might show this behavior? • What about organism fitness relies on animal communication? What type of signals can be used for fitness in the environment?
