Book: The human menagerie



All the same, only with some minor amendments, applies to the leaders of the world's people. Chic fur is luxurious and elaborate costume of the ruler, greater outfits his subordinates. His posture indicates the exceptional role it plays in society. Resting, it can recline or sit, while others are obliged to stand up to special permission. Is it typical for the leader of the baboons, which can lazily stretch, while his entourage settled down nearby and looks at him with anxiety and some tension. The situation, however, changes as soon as the leader shows aggression and starts in their status approved. Then, whether the baboon or the Prince, he must rise and take the position much more impressive than that of his entourage. He needs over them literally to rise, his whole appearance showed his high position. For the leader of the baboon is quite easy: as a rule, it is always more powerful than the others, and he just needs to stand up, and everything else will do for him impressive size of the body. Not the last role is played here by the servility and fear of his entourage. A person for approval of its position of the leader may need to resort to artificial means. It can increase in the eyes of his subordinates, his height, wearing a long gown or a high headdress. In addition, he can climb on the throne, a platform on which an animal or a vehicle, as well as on the shoulders of their retainers. Like baboons, reptiles in front of his leader, people who before their leader to appear smaller, to bow, to curtsy, kneel, bow or prostrate themselves.

We are not ants and not fit to voluntarily become members of a huge community. By nature we are, and probably always will simple tribal animals.

Not so long ago people began to be allowed to Express their opinion on the election of a new ruler. A political move in itself is a powerful binding force, giving members of superplumes a sense of belonging to their group and ability to influence her life. Once the new leader is chosen, it becomes clear that the influence of the people really is not all that significant as it seemed before, but during the election perceptible breeze social exclusiveness is still refreshing open spaces society.

Civilization miraculously continues to live due to the fact that the human desire for cooperation manifests itself again and again with even greater vigor. It meets active opposition, but steadily continues its offensive.

Fortunately, long-term study of hunting of Sciences contributed to the development of such qualities as ingenuity and willingness to help someone. That's right: the people-the hunters, having, as their ancestors-apes, an innate self-confidence and competitive spirit, was still forced to calm down their militancy and to nominate in the first place, the need for cooperation with each other. This was their only hope to win the battle with long been adapted to everything, armed with sharp claws professional killers (for example, huge cats), which abounded in the carnivorous world. The evolution of human cooperation occurred simultaneously with the development of intelligence and research abilities, and this combination of qualities was simply terrible in its effectiveness.

Some animals are resting quietly, pokemama in the sun; others find long doing nothing is absolutely unacceptable. If you are a denizen of the "human zoo", then there will be among representatives of the second group. Having extremely inquisitive and inventive mind, you simply are not able to rest for a long time. You are bursting from desire again and again to find something challenging. You always something to explore, organize, create, and, eventually, find that out of the quagmire of the menagerie's no way out. With each new complex action you are one step further away from your natural tribal state, which your ancestors have enjoyed for millions of years.

Modern man in conditions natural for their species, no longer living. Caught in a net of their own mind, and not captive in some zoo owner, he locked himself in a huge restless menagerie, where it is constantly in danger of straining surge.
Despite the unbearable conditions of life is obvious. World of zoo, like the giant dad, to protect its inhabitants: food, water, shelter, hygiene and medical care provided. The basic problems of survival are minimised, and there is free time.

In normal conditions, in their natural habitat, wild animals will never hurt each other, to observate to fight with the children to earn a stomach ulcer, suffer from obsessions or obesity, form homosexual pair or kill each other. Not worth the extra time to remind you that among the people of the city this is not uncommon. But this the difference between man and other animals? At first glance, seems to be Yes, but this is misleading. Other animals can indeed behave in a similar way, but only in certain situations, but rather when they are placed in the unnatural conditions of captivity. A wild animal in a cage, demonstrates all of these anomalies known to us exactly the same as our kin. It is obvious that the city is not a concrete jungle, but a real "human zoo". You need to compare not the urban dweller and the wild animal, and the urban resident and the beast in the cage.

There is only the need to make urban conditions more suitable for life long-suffering citizens. If this happens, we are lucky enough to retain all the delights of urban existence, enjoy life of primitive man (of course, as much as we will allow the brain Supreme being).

The study of the habits of the animals enclosed in small cages gave me the idea to draw a parallel between the zoo and the city. I saw these prisoners of those enclosures closed and tense city dwellers, who meet every day on the streets.
Interestingly, since then, began to gain momentum some dissatisfaction with the situation originated and grew from year to year the movement for the liberation of animals. More and more people considered the conclusion of the animals behind bars is wrong, and the number of visitors to zoos has declined to a record high. To some extent this is due to the fact that society is beginning to understand the need of caring for "our little brothers", but I still think that it is a symbol of relentless progress, the tacit awareness of the need to care for other prisoners to the enclosures of the inhabitants of the human zoo. Is it because we yearn to release lions and elephants to freedom that are in the soul striving to escape from those cells that have built for yourself in our rapidly growing cities?

We, as representatives of the class of mammals will always fight for the right to preserve their identity in the animal world.

All signs of tribal and ancestral ties, it seems, began to revive in an all-out web of the city, now again eradicated and turned into obscure laws of territorial groups. Some believe that it is a sign of destruction, but for those living in the cities resistance to transformation into a faceless insects huge, jam-stuffed human hive has become a matter of life and death.

The worm primitive tribalism flourishes in all its glory in the heart of this huge rotting Apple called metropolis. Ancient cave paintings and prehistoric rock paintings have been replaced by modern graffiti, a primitive spear-automatic pistols; ritual scars on the skin now prefer trendy tattoos, and colorful feathers on the head t-shirts.

On the set I got acquainted with the latest achievements of urbanization. In the slums of Bombay, the worst slums in the world, I saw how can be pressed
human dwellings, even the antediluvian animal cells in comparison with them seem luxurious apartments. In Tokyo, the miniaturization of the housing has reached such an extent that the rooms in some hotels represent a sort of funny capsule, where living squeeze, as in cocoons and feel like in a coffin, equipped with air conditioning and cable TV.
