It's just so obviously an animal trait that I can't believe anyone could dispute that. > Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2010 09:23:33 -0700 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [MD] TiTs and the Illusion of SOM > > dmb, > > dmb says: > > Well, babies are tuned to the environment like every other living thing but > > this is biological, not social.
