To the group of monkeys finally triumphed good, just needed to kill all who sow zlo

In 2004, researchers observing a group of baboons have found that simian culture can dramatically change for the better. And all that is needed - a huge number of deaths.



Life is not sugar in baboons. If the baboon does not become a victim of a lion or a hunter, it almost certainly after some time will kill the other baboon. And it will not even be a baboon-enemy. Fighting within the group - a common thing for these monkeys: dominant males routinely attack the weaker males as well as females and cubs. With regard to subordinates, the alpha males artfully fueled their grievances and try to unite in order to work together to attack the other dominant males.

At alpha male greatest choice of friends and food. If the territory of the other groups invade baboons and will encroach on the resources of the group over them quickly massacred.



Once, on one of the dumps in Kenya, close to the tourist park, there was debris contaminated with tuberculosis. Soon most dominant baboons in the area, too, were infected, and therefore destroyed.

The group, which the researchers called "Forest Squad", continued to live with a considerably thinned the number of males and with a large number of females and cubs.



What followed was soon to be a wonderful cultural shift. Fighting in the group disappeared. But mutual cleaning and other positive social phenomenon - appeared.

Of course, some conflicts still happened, but the very culture of violence has disappeared, "Forest detachment" became more peaceful and amiable. All this happened at the beginning of 1980. A report of this came only in the year 2004, but even after so many years of baboons in the "forest squad," continued to live peacefully. During this time the group joined by new males, and most male survivors of the outbreak of tuberculosis, has died of old age. Somehow the culture of peaceful coexistence could firmly rooted in the group.

All this greatly puzzling, is not it? Described above suggests that human society can change for the better. This is just to make it happen, it would destroy the most violent of its representatives.
