The second researcher's argument is based on the problem of induction, which refers to the difficulty of making generalizations based on limited observations. Just because Theresa has observed antisocial behavior in chimpanzees in the wild does not necessarily mean that chimpanzees are antisocial with all other mammals in all environments. The problem of induction highlights the need for more research and caution in making generalized statements based on limited observations.
