Just as in non-human behavioral ecology, behavioral strategies in HBE are usually described as complex behavioral dispositions. Behavioral dispositions involve behavioral responses to local stimuli; behavioral strategies then involve producing a set of different responses to a set of different stimuli (i.e. the response conditions of the strategy). According to Kaplan and Hill, the Ache prey choice strategy involves choosing a variety of different potential prey items from the environment; whether or not a prey item is taken depends on a number of circumstances acting as the response conditions: for example, the presence of prey with certain specific features, such as the caloric return of the prey given the time necessary to process it (known as the profitability); the rate at which that prey occurs in the environment; whether or not the prey is encountered on their search; and the search time available on a foraging trip&#8230;<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">HBEs explicitly accept that social learning of general purpose reasoning may be responsible for human behavioral strategies such as the Ache\u2019s.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This was followed immediately by a Human Behavioral Ecology \u201cstatement of faith\u201d:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">However, this is ultimately irrelevant; one way or another, natural selection has, in effect, \u201cseen to it\u201d that humans behave in ways that tend to maximize their reproductive success.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Lord used statements like this in E.O.
