“Adfærdsforskere skelner mellem den ultimative årsag til en adfærd og den umiddelbare årsag.¹⁹⁶ Den ultimative årsag til at vi spiser, er at vi ellers ikke overlever. Den umiddelbare årsag er, at vi er sultne.”

Behavioural researchers distinguish between the ultimate cause of behaviour and the immmediate cause.¹⁹⁶ The ultimate cause that we eat is that we shall otherwise not survive. The immediate cause is that we are hungry.
