While you could say that this is evolution, its more so an animal behavior that developed from that called imprinting, in the first several weeks of development, certain levels of mammals can develop patterns and responses that become second nature.
I.E. the the mother picks then up as a baby, they go limp, and they're mind trains them to do that from then on.
There's some guy who tested with this and removed a mother duck from her chicks and he acted as their mother, and when the ducks grew up they still saw him as their actual mother and followed him in a straight line,

'Perfect adaptations'. HA. HAHAHAHA.
Humans still have a bunch of useless adaptations that are left over from past the past because they don't affect our breeding. Example: Treating pollens like antigens and inflaming your sinuses; the appendix; Wisdom teeth (they theorize that they're left over from when humans had longer jaws.). Plus many other things.

antiherojoshua (05/18/2012) [-] The only reason your adaptions seem "smart" is that everything that's failed to adapt has died off. Look at it this way if all that was left in a school was grade A students, It would seem like all the kids are geniuses, but in reality the dumb ones were just rounded up out back and shot. Everything is smart if you have nothing to base comparison on.

noopinion (05/18/2012) [-] According to the theory of evolution, It started as a mutation, the rat had a higher survival rate because it wasn't always thrashing around as an adolescent. The mutation was passed on as a dominant trait and is very common among rats.
It's possible that some rats have a pure blood-line without this mutation.

alphawolffifteen (05/18/2012) [-] It's called a theory. Everything in evolution is called a theory, but 99% of the time it is treated as fact and no one ever questions it.
No one says "scientists believe it's an adaptation"
They always say "it IS an adaptation"
