Evolution of Animal Behavior

The video discusses the evolution of animal behavior, emphasizing that behaviors evolve over time just like physical traits. It highlights how certain behaviors, such as birds flying away at the first sign of danger or dogs being friendly, are advantageous for survival and reproduction. The video also touches on artificial evolution, where humans have selectively bred dogs for friendliness. Overall, it explains that behaviors are hardwired into genetics and evolve due to their effectiveness in ensuring survival.

• It allows them to explore new areas

• It makes them more attractive to mates

What is the reason behind the evolution of certain animal behaviors?

• Animals consciously develop these behaviors
