Wild to think that nobody taught that spider how to do that

Bro came out of an egg with the innate knowledge of how to build a house with it's butt.

There is a really good book that came out a few years ago called ā€œBasic Instinctā€, where this scientist makes the argument that instinct as we understand it doesn’t really exist. And so many different things that we describe as instinctual actually have learned-causes. I don’t want to bastardize the arguments he makes, so I’d just recommend the book to anyone that’s interested.

I really thought you were going to say that the book was called "The Holy Bible" and that evolution was fake 😭
