The Royal Society published “Experimental peripheral administration of oxytocin elevates a suite of cooperative behaviours in a wild social mammal” in 2011. But the oxytocin was given in a carrier inclusive of chlorobutanol, which was not included in the control injections: chlorobutanol has sedative, hypnotic, and anaesthetic actions. In…

Camouflage, mimicry and crypsis.
adult-centred, adultcentrism, automimicry, Batesian, Batesian mimicry, camouflage, crypsis, deimatic, deimatic display, dishonest signals, engagement, face mask, Fear in animals: a meta-analysis and review of risk assessment, forced sneezing, harassment, hassle, honest signals, marriage, Müllerian mimicry, mimicry, nose picking, phonolocation, pseudo-conversation, rhinotillexisCamouflage, mimicry and crypsis are ubiquitous in the animal kingdom, and are used by children who feel insecure. A sibling who feels vulnerable may mimic a sibling who appears less vulnerable. Children condition adults. Adolescent inebriety may be a deimatic display or, if persistent, Batesian mimicry. For an adult, survival in a hostile environment requires…

The use of metaphor indicates lack of substance until proven otherwise, such as advising…
