Sure, I would agree with that. I think that allows us to see the fluidity in behavior between animals and humans and yet there are factors involved in our actions that are quite distinct. For example, we both have passions to procreate, but humans have additional conceptions, of "love" and "rape" and "casual sex" for example.

Would conceptions like "love" and "casual sex" and "rape" then be understood as evolutionary byproducts expressed in different sorts of brain activity?
Yeah. All of our thoughts and passions have resulted from our evolutionary history.
Though I include cultural evolution in that as well.
