A bee is preprogrammed And that is what I said, even the very slow learning of DNA in a honeybee can achieve altruism after a few billion years. We can expect and do see more of a human which has an impressive dynamic learning capability. that doesn't mean that the honeybee did not exhibit courage and daring or that it was self sacrificing. Hold your sides, that sounds noble to me. So far FREE WILL is unique to humans . When I was young we had a horse. We rode it every day in the summer. We rode it on weekends in the spring and fall. In winter, when the weather was bad, we didn't ride much. The horse got bored. It was in a pen with 5 or 6 foot rails, and yet it would jump over (I saw it) and run away. We would run after it, drive cars after it, go back and forth. It would run and run from one farm to the other. When it was good and ready it would slow down enough that we could get a rope over it and take it back to the pen. Don't even try to say the horse didn't decide on it's own FREE WILL to lead us on that chase or I will laugh at you. we should not teach high schoolers that animals are getting to be like us No competent teacher would, animals will be mostly like their parents. That is what natural selection teaches. (You really should try to learn this stuff before you critisise it). TP
