Animals are good to think with.Claude Levi-Strauss

Why companion animals?

It would be fair to argue that pet-keeping is genuinely adaptive in the evolutionary sense of the word, since it contributes to individual health and survival by ameliorating stresses and strains of everyday life.

Ultimate Level Explanations

Evolutionary adaptations increase reproductive success.

Evolution - Model 1: Organic EvolutionCharles Darwin (1859)

RequiresVariationReplicationSelection (?)Time lots

Units of replication Genes

Theory 1. Attachment to pets is an evolved adaptation.Need to show it pet-keeping is linked to genes (e.g., heritable).

Need to show that attachment to pets increases reproductive fitness.

Problems with the Evolutionary Adaptation Theory of Pet-Keeping

1. No evidence that pet-keeping is a heritable trait. 2. No evidence that pet owners have higher reproductive success.

3. Too much individual variation many (perhaps most) people are not strongly attached to animals.

Theory 2. Pets are non-functional evolutionary byproducts (spandrels).

Baby releasers elicit feelings of parental care.

Attachment to pets is a misfiring of maternal instincts.

Theory 3: Pets are parasitesCuckoos in the nest.

Pets use us to pass on their genes.

My cat, Kitty, is a nest parasite.

Evolutionary Model 2:Cultural Evolution

Richard Dawkins (1976)

RequiresVariationReplicationSelection (?)Time not much

Units of replication - Memes Examples Songs, Fashions, Ideas

Theory 4: Pet-keeping is a meme.Some predictions:

1. Potential for rapid cultural changes in forms of pet-keeping

2. Large cultural differences in pet keeping behaviors and attitudes

3. Pets run in families
