Many different types of research fall under the term "cognitive ethology," and it currently is pointless to try to delimit the boundaries of cognitive ethology; because of the enormous amount of interdisciplinary interest in the area, any stipulative definition of cognitive ethology is likely to become rapidly obsolete. Currently, cognitive ethology faces challenges to its scientific status. Criticism is based on both the subject matter and the methods of cognitive ethology.

26. Does Ethology Throw Any Light On Human Behavior?

Does Ethology Throw Any Light on Human Behavior?
Sir Peter Medawar
Although biologists take to it very kindly, the idea that the behavior of animals can throw any light at all upon the behavior of men is so far from self-evident that it would have been regarded with the utmost derision by the more tough-minded philosophers and philosophic thinkers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries - I mean, by men of the stature of Thomas Hobbes and Samuel Johnson. Dr Johnson, in particular, would have been deeply outraged: `Sir,' he would have said - he certainly would have said that, but what else he would have said can only be conjectural, though I think it might have run: `is not the possession and exercise of moral judgement precisely the distinction between mankind and the brute creation? Show me an earthworm or marmoset that can tell the difference between right and wrong.' Thomas Hobbes would have pointed out - and in chapter 12 of Leviathan did, in effect, point out - that it is only by virtue of characteristics that differentiate civilised mankind from lesser beings that the life of man is anything but `solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short'. Scientists of the twentieth century cannot be expected to quake in their shoes at the thought of the opinion that might have been held of them by eighteenth-century philosophers, however skillful and tough-minded they may have been, for they were simply not in possession of all the information that would have made it possible for them to form a definitive opinion. In particular, they were unaware of the evolutionary descent of man; but even if they had been appraised of it their reaction would probably have been `What of it?' and Dr Johnson, wielding, as ever, the butt-end of his pistol, would have demanded to know what great and illuminating new truth about mankind followed from our realisation of his having evolved.

Edition from 5 march 2004
Abbreviations RP rank potential, the capability (perhaps, unrealized) to have high ranks in a hierarchy. HR a human with a high RP. LR the same, with a low RP. HP a human with a high primativeness, who tends to rely on instinctive programs in practice. LP the same, with a low primativeness, so as to be able to behave contrary to instincts. PFI the Principle of Female's Irreplaceability - base of the instinct complex reflecting the high biological value of females to the species. What is the difference between psychology and human ethology? Though they seem alike at the first sight, those disciplines belong to different scientific realms. In general, they don't antagonize, but complete each other. The following main differences between them can be named:
  • Ethology, being a subdivision of biology, is a natural science; psychology is a humanitary discipline, with a bias to philosophy. This implements a principial difference of paradigms(*). For example, ethology is totally materialistic, and psychology doesn't need materialism at all, though it doesn't contradict it.
  • The subject of psychology is mostly a human, always stressing his exclusiveness among other inhabitants of Earth; ethology researches the human as an equal representative of the animal world (may be with a head swollen a bit), widely using the comparison between human behaviour and behavior of other animal species. One may say that psychology is more interested in everything that separates the human from other animals, ethology - in everything that is similar between human and other animals.

Introduction Social organization and sexual behavior of horses, both under natural free-ranging conditions and domestic hand-breeding conditions, have been well described in the literature over the last several decades (feral horses and ponies: Feist, 1971; Klingel, 1975; Miller, 1981; McCort, 1984; Keiper, 1985; Keiper and Houpt, 1984; semi-feral and pasture bred domestic horses and ponies: Tyler, 1972; Bristol, 1975; hand-bred horses and ponies: Asa, 1985; Asa, 1986; McDonnell, 1986; overall review of early work, Waring, 1983). Modern stud farm practices vary considerably around the world, but in general impose considerable differences in sociosexual environment and breeding behavior from natural conditions for both mares and stallions. Some of the modern horse husbandry practices are for safety and practicality, but many are more or less tradition. While most domestic horses breed successfully under intense domestic management, there is a considerable amount of sexual behavior dysfunction, and/or sexual behavior related management and performance problems in horses managed under these conditions.

The Very Rev. Dr. James Parks Morton has defined ecology as the "science of the body of Christ through which we of the Earth community learn our sacred connections." From this metaphysical perspective I would define ethology as the science of the spirit of animals through which we of the Earth community learn respect and compassion for all our relations. The objectifying (and objectional) Cartesian/Newtonian umwelt Ethology enables us to better understand the ethos Empathy in animals and altruistic behavior give us biological evidence of an evolutionary process of increasing social and mental complexity converging and giving rise to an innate moral sensibility and capacity to make ethical decisions for the good of the pack (in the wolf) and of the Earth community (for the human), where self-interest through empathy becomes synonymous with the interests of others. Altruistic behavior is thus the most enlightened form of selfishness.

Niko Tinbergen
ethology - animal behaviour
Niko Tinbergen (Nikolaas Tinbergen) was born in The Hague, Netherlands, on 15th April 1907, as the third of five children to a schoolmaster and his wife. At school he was by no means notable for scholarship preferring to indulge in appreciating nature through diverse rambles by beach and by lakeside and also preferring to play field-sports.
As a boy he took a great interest in two small freshwater aquaria located in the backyard of the family home and was also made responsible, by one of his teachers at High School, for three saltwater aquaria. Alongside these practical involvements he also appreciatively read the works of two famous Dutch naturalists - E. Heimans and Jac P. Thijsse.
He was initially rather daunted by any prospect of studying academic biology at university level but, through the influence of friends who took him to wild coastal places full of migratory wildfowl, his interest was reinvigorated such that he resolved to attempt studies in Biology at Leiden University. Here he again seemed to be relatively unremakable as a scholar and only scraped through the final assessment that led up to his being awarded a Ph.D. in 1932.
Through a friend named Sidney Van den Bergh, he was offered the opportunity of joining the Netherlands' small contingent for the International Polar Year 1932-33, which was to have its base in Angmagssalik, the homeland of a small, isolated Eskimo tribe and he, together with the wife he had recently married, lived for two summers and a winter lived in close proximity to these Eskimos. This was followed by a minor academic post at Leiden where he was given responsibility for teaching comparative anatomy to undergraduates and for the organisation of a course in animal behaviour.
