The frightening thing about the experiment is, many social scientists believe the behavior of mice in this experiment is a precursor to how humans would behave in such a setting. The social organization of the animals showed equal disruption. Among the males the behavior disturbances ranged from sexual deviation to cannibalism and from frenetic over-activity to a pathological withdrawal from which individuals would emerge to eat, drink and move about only when other members of the community were asleep. An even greater number, after successfully giving birth, fell short in their maternal functions.

“Many female mice were unable to carry pregnancy to full term or to survive delivery of their litters if they did. The behavior of male and female mice were recorded as follows: *When the population started declining the beautiful ones were spared from violence and death, but had completely lost touch with social behaviors, including having sex or caring for their young. *The few secluded spaces housed a population Calhoun called, “the beautiful ones.” Generally guarded by one male, the females inside the space didn’t breed or fight or do anything but eat and groom and sleep. Sometimes they’d drop and abandon a baby while they were carrying it. *They’d move half their litter away from danger and forget the rest. * Few females carried pregnancies to term, and the ones that did seemed to simply forget about their babies. *They gathered in the main squares, waiting to be fed and occasionally attacking each other. *At the peak population, most mice spent every living second in the company of hundreds of other mice. *By day 560, the mouse population reached 2,200, and then steadily declined back down to unrecoverable extinction. *Universe 25 started out with eight mice, four males and four females.
*Divided into “main squares” and then subdivided into levels, the place was kept stocked with food. *Universe 25 was a giant box designed to be a rodent utopia. Two years later, the mice had created their own apocalypse. He introduced eight mice to the population. In 1972, animal behaviorist John Calhoun built a mouse paradise with beautiful buildings and limitless food. TL DR: In a densely populated setting, the behavior of humans will be self-destructive and harmful to those around them. “You’ll Never Guess What Happened in this Science Experiment!!! Before I go on recording my commentary for ya’ll to read, let’s first take a look at the original article: The following article I read on Affimity really made me think. After all, what are we if not the students in the school of the Internet?
Now let’s dust the Web and find some interesting snippets out of it.
