Another way of looking at the animal issue is that if we have a broad behavioral pattern among many species, we can better extrapolate it to humans.  But at the same time we cannot assume it's genetic in animals.  The Pfaus study is interesting in that I was amazed at how much cognition went into mate-selection across several species.  There were indications that an animal's mother's coloring even influenced her offspring's decision on which mate to select.
