Of the primate to the rational, of the rational to the espabilado
25 November 2010
Any of the hundreds or billions that we live in the cities of the civilized world live totally unrelated to the animal world, especially if we consider that the dogs are no longer part of the animal world but rather bugs that are with us andonly sometimes leave us the mined streets. But we were apes and it shows. To some it shows them when they eat, others will note when take advantage of privacy exposed to the public of a car you expect to the traffic lights change to green for cleaning of nasal internal walls and others when they talk about. In fact, is to speak when paradoxically more note us the animalism. We always have a moment of the day to demonstrate that we were animals, because we cannot take away the burden of our gene. It is something very our.
Perhaps why let them less and exert to them when the thing is complicated. Namely: in Hojomachi station in the city of Hyogo, Japan, have applied for two monkeys are heads of the station. The monkeys, always eager to help his cousins, have accepted because after long meetings with their employers have come to the conclusion commonly accepted that it will thus attract more customers to the railway line. Receiver, overwhelming logic is: If there is a monkey's head of station, more pulls us the train. Not to mention where are train drivers or when airlines reactivate business hiring monkeys as pilots.
In difficult times like these, it is good to devote efforts to know well the animal world, because knowing about them more than we know. There are studies determinants for the future of the rational animal, reason by which society is thrilled to pay studies like the one done by a British scientific team with some Blackbirds of South Africa. According to the same, some flocks rivals of birds behave like soccer fans, chanting songs guerrillas during clashes or comforting after a defeat, smoothing the feathers to one another. Birds alisan feathers each other after a situation of extreme stress. For example, after a defeat front to a rival flock or after a long fight.
Monkeys are heads of station is something that sooner or later it had to happen. That someone devote their time and resources of other to verify that a common Blackbird is like a hooligan, also. What is not acceptable is that rational animals are put to work, more and more for less, to get out of this hole, while the 'clever animal' species looks from your Chair to their lower counterparts.
