Hope you guys don't think, here we go again we've heard this one before!
Behaviour, is it passed on like other characteristics?
I have seen sheepdog pups with no experience in the field take to herding and stalking like they have been doing it all their life!
edit by me
I've just re-read my post and I've answered my own quesion really!
I've asked is behaviour a part of the evolutionary process and then I've said I've witnessed it is through my own observation!
I guess what I'm asking really is, how can behaviour be passed on?
I'm having difficulty because, correct me if I'm wrong, evolution is biological, yes? Biological things are passed on through reproduction.
But, is behaviour biological? can it be studied under a microscope?
can it be seperated and studied biologically?
That's really what I was getting at. Blue eyes can be inherited BUT how so behaviour?
thanks for your patience guys and the simpler the better.
