Please elaborate on how you see that relating to salmon behavior of the sorts discussed earlier. |
A computer related analogy is (read only memory) ROM for "instinctual" motor routines all animals are born with, along with possible design change. A "tweaking the circuit" to favor certain actions over others, and not necessarily a coded memory area with "information" in it as in a computer ROM chip.
Behaviors are this way passed to offspring. What smells and tastes good or bad eventually depends on whether the substance is what the critter such as a dung-beetle eats, or personally poops out as waste and/or may likely be hazardous to consume.

The theory of intelligent design holds that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection.
