"There is no parallel in other species for these quick, large-scale shifts. General behavior patterns in dogs or fish or ants change due to a change in environment, or to broad genetic evolution over a period of time."
Aha! This passage made me realize why we can't seem to get a grip on, for example, climate change (but also that we soon, easily could). Humans can undergo a quick, large-scale shift in behavior having nothing to do with an environmental change; therefore it's also true that humans can staunchly and stubbornly adhere to the same behavior, despite an environmental change.
