Hume "Reason of Animals"

In this chapter, Hume start off talking about how animals are similar to us because they have the circulation of blood as we do. He explains how no matter what type of animals there is some time of blood circulation. He then goes on to explain how animals learn things. I would have to agree that animals gain knowledge by experience, instinct and observation, just like humans do. They start off with instinct, just like humans. Somethings come naturally to them. For instance, a bird, which Hume describes at the end of the chapter, knows how to build a nest from natural instinct and how to eat. Birds learn how to fly observing their parents. After they observe for a while, they learn to fly by experience. This is exactly how babies learn to walk or how adolescence learn to drive a car. I think what this chapter is trying to explain to us is that animals have the same ways of learning as we do.
