Observation of what? You can't directly see a behavior. >>> Yeah, sure:) If you cross the street, that's an action. You do it repeatedly, it's a behavior. (Guess I can't see it... you must be invisible!) >>> If a whole society has sex with multiple partners (polygamy)... guess that can't be 'seen' either. If people in Korea eat kimchee, it's an action. Since it's a mainstay of their diet... it must be a social behavior. Do Americans like watching TV at night? That's a behavior, and it's easy to measure. What in the World are you thinking? Absolutely not. It shows you the fact that behaviors are not natural, as we are. >>> No 'natural' behaviors? Are you nuts? Do horses graze naturally? Do chimps use simple tools to pick termites out of mounds? Do teenagers act up? Do rats chew to keep their incisors trimmed? These are behaviors... and if they exist commonly, and are widespread, and or they exist across the ages, across cultures, then they must be considered 'natural' behaviors... although saying something is 'natural' does not mean that every member of a species exhibits that behavior at all times.
