Oh, no... he wasn't letting humans have any more credit than the birds, actually. He roundly regarded the premise of "instinct" as an ingrained genetic response to assure that this particular genetic strain carries on.
I hate the brush-off tone with which many scientists use the word "anthropomorphizing" as much as it sounds like you do, Bel. This book was only so engaging to me because the author painted humans as just another animal, afforded no special byes just because we can walk upright.
