In her writing she explains how certain animals reacted differently to not having a mother figure present. For example, a monkey shows zero interest in mating or reproducing unless showed how to. Although, this does not make sense because the very first mother was not able to be taught by another similar species.

Mothering and reproducing can most certainly be taught by an elder, although, does not imply that without teaching, the offspring will have no idea what that means. Many animals look for a mother for guidance and instruction but when that body is not there, they are confused on what to do. Does this mean that the offspring dies without a mothers guidance?
