Summary
Dig into the animal kingdom’s capacity for generosity, and find out how cooperation between animals may contribute to their survival.--Charles Darwin introduced the notion of “survival of the fittest,” where the fittest animals are those who can survive long enough to produce healthy offspring. The fittest animal can also be the most stealthy, resourceful, or even the most cooperative. So what exactly does cooperation look like in the wild? Ashley Ward digs into the animal kingdom's capacity for generosity.Lesson by Ashley Ward, directed by Sharon Colman.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/why-animals-help-each-other-ashley-wardDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/why-animals-help-each-other-ashley-ward/digdeeperAnimator's website: https://www.sharoncolman.comMusic: https://soundgoods.tv----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
