summarize main points from the lecture and explain how they cast doubt upon the reading passage
Altruism is a behavior in which humans and animals sacrifice their own interest for others. Both, the reading and the lecture are discussing about Altruism. According to the reading, most animals and people show altruistic behaviour when they help other group members and provides three reasons of support.However, the professor contradicts this and refutes each of its claims.
First of all, the professor explains that the new study about meerkats behavior in which one guard for standing to alarm for the predator shows that upon closer look researchers found out that the standing guard meerkat had already ate before guarding the other members of its group. Therefore, the claim from the reading that standing guard had no food while guarding other group members to alarm for predators is its altruistic behavior is wrong.
Second, the professor mentioned that new studies about meerkat behavior also proved that standing guard always stand near the burrow. Therefore, when the guard creates alarm it gives the signal to its group either move together-together or else to move away from the caller, which actually increases its own survival chances because the predator would be distracted towards the group and guard meerkat would easily move into the burrow. This opposes the reading which claims that alarm of standing guard meerkat for predator will decrease its own chance of survival.
Finally, the professor explains that good behavior of humans among each other is actually for their own satisfaction. He added that for instance a person who donates a kidney to his relative or a stranger will gain appreciation and rewards from the society. May be this reward is very valuable for that person and the act of donating kidney is not for the help of other person but gaining that reward for his own self respect. This refutes reading which states that human behavior of donation their organs and sharing food shows altruistic behavior.
