Answer:

TWO YEARS AGO, a group of Ugandan chimps provided a blow to the idea that humans are the only animals that truly behave selflessly to one another. These chimps showed clear signs of true selflessness, helping both human handlers and other unrelated chimps with no desire for reward.

The question of why we help each other, instead of looking out for ourselves, is one of the most compelling in modern biology. Evolutionary and game theory alike predict that selfish behaviour should be the rule with altruism the exception, and animal experiments have largely supported this idea. Nature, ‘red in tooth and claw’, is painted as a fierce competition between selfish individuals and their even more selfish genes.

How is the hurricane's effect on an ecosystem different than a tornado?
vladimir2022 [97]
Hurricanes and other strong storms can have a profound impact on communities. Power outages, flooding and interruption of communication systems can interrupt everyday life. But storms and natural disasters can wreak havoc on animals, ecosystems and coastal habitats.

Although parts of the world have been subjected to hurricanes, typhoons, tornadoes and other storms for millenia, experts at the United States Department of the Interior and the U.S. Geological Survey say that today's storms may be more detrimental to animal life and ecosystems than ever before. That's because periodic disturbances on plants and animals that result from storms are compounded by consistent environmental changes brought on by human development and industry. Animals that could once bounce back from a weather event may find it harder to rebound because their habitats have already been weakened by human interference.
