Lessons from evolution applied to national security and other threats
Date:1/28/2008

ionary models and ideas also can be applied to non-terrorism threats, such natural disasters and the spread of infectious diseases, he added.

Whether youre dealing with al Qaeda or an emerging pathogen, studying animal behavior teaches us basic principles of survival, he said. You cant eliminate all risks, so you have to focus on the big ones, while adapting to minimize risk from the rest. You have to be aware of your environment, understanding that its constantly in flux. And when it comes to adapting and responding to threats, a centralized authority can get in the way. Individual units that sense the environment, with minimal central control, work best.
