Sociobiology

I agree with what Jessie had to say. It is amazing how so many other disciplines are shown to be incorporated into ecological ethics. Although we share a very large portion of our genetics with chimps (something like 97.5%), it does not mean our behavior is solely depended upon our genetic past. Behavior is not only genetic, but also learned. Yes, it is true that being genetically predisposed to something greatly increases the likelihood of that happening. However, our conscious actions and responses make us able to control the urges brought along by our "chimp genes." If our every action was controlled by these genes, wouldn't we be living as chimps?
