The reading talks about altruistic behaviors of animals, which mean them sacrificing their own interests for the sake of others or the group. It is exemplified with the example of the meerkat. Conversely to the arguments of the reading, the professor does not share this opinion.
According to the passage, while meerkats are searching for food, there is always one meerkat standing guard as a sentinel and looking out for predators. So that meerkat is the only one who cannot eat and thus shows an example of a sacrifice of its own interests. But not so for the lecturer, who says that the sentinel meerkat actually eats food before its duty, which is why this is not an altruistic behavior.
Moreover, after giving an alarm as a signal for nearby predators, the reading contends the alarming puts the meerkat in the position of a target. The lecturer posits this argument by saying that the alarming makes the other meerkats gather together making them more defenseless to the predators. The sentinel is in such situations often the first one, who flees, which shows, again, no sign of selflessness.
The article points out that such supposed-altruistic behavior can also be seen in people. The professor, however, claims that events like sharing foods with needers or even donation of organs cannot really be considered as selfless acts because the person still gets recognition in return. For some people, such a reward can be more valuable than a material gain.
