(B) It is not difficult to decide whether an animal is social or not. It can be simply said that the degree of socialityof a certain animal is in proportion to the degree of sexuality of it.
(C) If we simply say that all sexual animals are social but that their sexual behaviors differ a lot, then we caneasily recoil from the difficult task of deciding which animals are really social.
(D) We can easily explain ourselves clearly from the perspective of true sociality. If an animal is sexual, then it issocial, and vice versa. However, the degree to which an animal’s sociality is influenced by its sexuality variesgreatly.
