Animals have territories too (some collective, some individual), and defend them. I expect our notions of 'property rights' evolved from that

- zaarn 9y agoMaybe, yes, but it doesn't make property right an inherent part of nature, merely a rather popular tactic for higher-evolved animes (I don't see mold taking territories, it grows where it grows and doesn't have any intelligence to defend it or see it as it's own).
- circlefavshape 9y agoI'm not arguing the case for property rights, merely pointing out they have a precedent in the natural world
