In most cases, when we closely observe an animal -- or even a plant, for that mattEr -- we find that its nature, including its behavior no less than its structure, is likely to “make sense. This means that we can generally determine how a particular behavior or structure contributes to the organism’s success. . . . . In such cases one needn’t be an expert to intuit what evolutionary scientists call the “adaptive significance” of the characteristic in question. . . . . Page 197
