"The particular behavior that an animal might learn is not the direct product of natural selection, but an appreciation of natural selection and the species' evolutionary history is critical none the less. The goal in an evolutionary approach to animal learning is to understand how natural selection has shaped the mechanisms by which the animal processes information from experience and files memory adaptively. We should expect species-specific biases and limitations that reflect the species' evolutionary history. " R. Stimson Wilcox and Robert R. Jackson
