Did you read the material about animal behavior I posted to Croc? You can teach an animal tricks, but only tricks that somehow are congruent with their natural instincts. So you can teach a chicken to "dance" because they scratch, but you can't teach a cat to herd. If you give a boy a block, he'll point it around saying "bang, bang." (Wonder what they did before there were guns?)

I think we humans just naturally have behaviors that allow us to live in a little group more or less peacefully. Extrapolating that to people outside "our group" takes work, but it's in harmony with our natures.
