Animals can't change their behavior. They do the same thing over and over, which is why it's so easy for humans to trap them.
I wonder if this is where the conservative view of reality comes from. Perhaps evolution left us with an admonition: do not change what works. Could this be why so many people always want to stick with the old? You hear it all the time: "It's always worked for us, so why change?" Maybe that's biology talking.
Of course, that doesn't mean we have to listen.
