The wolf does it for selfiush self-centered reason per individual, and they can’t behave in any manner other than self-preservational whereas Humans can truly reason using an absolute universal morality code- in other words- we can selflessly act for the benifit of others, and do so consistently (for hte most part- selfisness is still a problem for some) basing our descision on the welfare of others for THEIR sake only, and not our own. Wolves can indeed give the impression they are acting on behalf of others, and appear to do so selflessly, however, deeper examination shows quite the contrary
“Wolves can indeed give the impression they are acting on behalf of others, and appear to do so selflessly, however, deeper examination shows quite the contrary.”
Even if this statement is correct, doesn’t that behavior still work to support the entire group? We aren’t talking about a school of fish where they are all trying to get in the middle, we’re talkiing about intelligent, sophisiticated animals that have evolved behavioral patterns specifically to ensure the continuation of a genetic line. Cooperative activites, well developed social order, and self-interest tempered by group needs are vital to this animal’s existance. Again, how is this different from humans?
