Above is the video clip of the chick throwing the egg out of the nest.
Is this selfish act not inherited?
Any ologists out there can explain this phenomenon please?
I rest my case. Now, all we have to do is find it.
I suggest its in abundance amongst some forum members, perhaps they can put themselves forward for tests.
Freddie old boy, I was thinking the other night whether, given the uncertainty of your pedigree, you might think about DNA tests for your good self?
Good idea! ... then they can isolate and sequence his "selfish gene"
Dear bill, shome mishtake here.
On account that I have not an ounce of selfishness, and have an ology called ornihology - I used to chop my mums chickens and clean them for her, and my family values, I am afraid that I must regretfully withdraw my services for such a good cause, but please feel free to suggest Mr Gelding do Rizokarpazo, on account that he has already lost some of his bits and may soon not have any DNA left to donate otherwise may I suggest the good lady with the other ology as she is nearest to the test tubes for the collection of such material that may be required before she fries them.
Regards.
PS I should have said, have I proved my point?
