Continuity in Animal and Human Organizational Structures is Inevitable
Continuity in the organizational structures of animals and humans is rooted in a shared evolutionary history spanning over 300 million years. Both species possess a similar neurological mechanism that relies on serotonin levels to regulate emotions; higher serotonin correlates with improved emotional states and social status. This biological wiring suggests that humans, like lobsters, are predisposed to operate within certain frameworks or 'tram lines' guided by their evolutionary past. While these inclinations establish certain rules for behavior, there remains the potential for individual agency within those constraints, akin to navigating the complexities of a chess game where players may bend the rules yet continue to engage with the established structure.
