Is it even possible, for example, for a bird to not know how to build a nest, or for a beaver to not know how to build a dam?
In: Biology
it is a natural outcome of evolutionary biology.
Birds that can’t build nests or beavers that can’t build dams will be much more likely to struggle and die prematurely, which means they can’t pass on their genes to a future generation. The animals that develop innate behaviors to improve their survival will live to produce offspring, who will then generally inherit the same behaviors, and go on to produce more offspring.
