2.1 Empathy in Rats
Through the two science experiments, I read about I learned that rodents do in some way feel empathy. In one experiment a rodent chose to help save a rat from drowning despite the chocolate they were being offered. In another study between black and white rats, the scientists found that at first, the rats didn't feel inclined to help each other, most likely because of their differences, but after becoming acquainted with each other they were more willing to help the rats in confinement despite their differences. I found it interesting that scientists were able to relate this back to humans and how we interact and empathize with each other.
