Which of us, observing the behavior of animals, was not amazed at their surprisingly "reasonable" & purposeful activity? She involuntarily makes a person think about the "mind" of living beings. Nevertheless, the naturalist-naturalist is obliged to understand and comprehensively accurately, objectively explain the true mechanisms of this activity. Meanwhile, when a naturalist or doctor is asked to explain the "reasonable" guidance of animals, you can often hear in response: "These are instincts," and yet the term "instinct" does not explain the essence of the matter.
