The Human Animal 3 - The Human Zoo

In evolutionary terms, the human animal has gone from mud hut to skyscraper in the mere twinkling of an eye. The cameras of the Natural History Unit capture the subtleties of human hierarchy in an English pub, the urge to set up and defend territory in a Tokyo park, and tribal behavior as displayed by gangs in Los Angeles.

This so distasteful. I dislike being part of something, I keep my tribe small. A wife, and three cats.

Humans, and tribalism. They fail to account for those that the tribe shirks. Those that seek only to be alone.

Tribes and violence, like the gang of girls.

This is all like the matrix to me, I see it every day.

I know that there are a small percentage of people who are not constrained by unwritten rules or societies practices.

I wonder what Morris would make of online tribes. VideoSift is a great example, including symbols of status, initiation rites, punishment of members that disrupt the tribe and brutal attacks on those who are not members.
