2 See, for example, Leviathan 4.46: “And I believe that scarce any thing can be more absurdly said in naturall Philosophy, than that which now is called Aristotle's Metaphysiques; nor more repugnant to Government than much of that hee hath said in his Politiques; nor more ignorantly, than a great part of his Ethiques.” Laird 1942 remains a very useful summary of Hobbes on Aristotle's Politics.

3 The situation is more complicated in at least some herd-dwelling species, in which herd members share, via rotation, pro-social “duties” in assuming the costly role of serving as “sentry” and may cooperate (again potentially at cost to the individual) to repel predators – but the principle is, I trust, clear enough.
