Rats, Insects. QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture. k-selection: evolution with limited resources. Small numbers of offspring, care for one’s young. Whales, elephants.

Natural selection favors genes whose phenotypes promote their replication (e.g. Richard Dawkins: The Selfish Gene). E.g. gene in Fireant queens Look for ETI that are similar to us, so they might interpret us as being genetically similar to themselves.

E.g. send gifts, be willing to take it slow. for safety, we need to see all three If you shout in the jungle you might meet at tiger. But if you shout in the city, you might hail a cab. Let’s take the time to find out where we are. QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture. Marc Kuchner Ozma 50 workshop
