/sci/ am i the only one who thinks biology/natural science majors have severe mental problems? the work they do is so mind numbingly simple a child could do it and the vast majority of them want to work with plants and animals. no one else will love them so they think animals will instead. Every person i met who was into animal or plant science has always been a crazy cat lady with no friends. just look at timothy treadwell in that grizzly man movie.

ITT: animal and plant science majors have severe emotional problems and think connecting with animals will solve that.

To be fair, can't empathizing with domesticated animals be attributed to qualities these species acquired through adaptation through natural selection rather than to mental illness in the humans that empathize with them?

I was under the understanding that the evolutionary niche of the domesticated dog before people actually started keeping them as pets was following nomadic camps of humans, and that the dogs who had qualities that induced the most empathy and thus food and shelter and otherwise succor from the humans were the ones who survived to have the most children.
