The robots are able to observe and move so we choose behaviours that use these abilities. The robots cannot smell so we don't choose a behaviour based on smell (although we could have chosen to use robots that can smell). If we assume that biological and social evolution to some extent happen concurrently then we are starting with a model fairly late in bio- social evolution, where key abilities are established and change little - or very slowly - in relation to the speed of change of behaviours. <br />Comment by Frances Griffiths, member of the artificial culture teamFrances Griffithshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02291897618954413098noreply@blogger.com
