Riassunto
Lungo la scala evolutiva filogenetica, è possibile distinguere, in prima approssimazione, gli animali dalle piante, in quanto i primi possiedono la capacità di compiere movimenti autonomi che possono essere più o meno complessi a seconda degli organismi interessati, ma non vengono mai compiuti a caso: essi vengono scelti in modo da produrre risultati utili per la sopravvivenza e per la riproduzione dell’organismo che li compie. Per essere attuato, questo processo necessita della raccolta di informazioni dall’ambiente esterno, attraverso i sistemi sensitivo-sensoriali dell’animale.
