About sophistication

A conversation with one of my friends about toddler behavior patterns led to a discussion on sophistication. She had mentioned that her 1.5 year old daughter, after going through a kissing-everyone phase has now entered into a slapping-everyone phase. And about the kid having clearly learnt about cause and effect--if I pull my mom's ear-rings, it will irritate her. That is when she made this statement: sophistication is fake; animal behavior is genuine.

I reworded it as 'Sophistication is man-made; Animalism is natural'.
