Talk:Animal versus human societies

"Many animals are biologically DNA-programmed to act in a certain way in their society": this is garbage. I would expect that they are no different than humans in that their behaviour in societies is a mix of DNA influence and the environment in which they have existed up until the point of analysis. The two influences might vary between species but there probably wouldn't be a species in which the environment didn't play some role in social behaviour. The statement seems to spring from a remarkably chauvnistic and speciesist analysis of non-humans. --Daniel C. Boyer 19:35, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
