"The presence of social evaluation so early in infancy suggests that assessing individuals by the nature of their interactions with others is central to processing the social world, both evolutionarily and developmentally," the authors stated.

Oh that is funny!!!!
Good one Steve! :)
Apparently dogs do too - is that why Harper has cats and Dion has a dog?
BCL could probably like a column or two on this, but from what I read it has to do with the recognition of stimulus as wired in our genes. Unfortunately, we become less in-tune with this as learning and conditioning override that instinct. Trade-off, I suppose - that learning can override instinct makes us more adaptable to a wider range of conditions and environments that change rapidly, but dulls that genetic imprinting thing.
I was working with children and I totally agree with this ..yes instincts are telling so much .and so well.!!!Woman also have a basic and very strong sense of right and wrong when judge people and situation...
Funny, precious, and true. Thanks for posting it!
