Has anyone read a researches done by biologists on monkeys communities? This is a very rough description of what i came across missing lots of details. Biologists had two gropus of same type of monkeys, one being agressive community and other not. They switched the little ones thus taking a child from agressive group and putting it into a calm one and vice -versa. They observed that a child from agressive group was behaving calmly in a calm group and vice versa. Of course they were taken and replaced as infants. It was a clear proof of environment effecting behaviour. Thus there are gazzilions but this was one of the obvious ones. I also read about a story of an agressive group of monkeys who were lead by few agressive males. These males were bold and couaregous thus they were courageous enough to wander into nearby city to look for food. They ate from trash canes and got a virus. Thus they died. Community that was existing started to change their social behaviour. Females were shared, males that were sub-ordinate to dead alphas were less agressive and community even started to mix with outsiders. Its on the internet somewhere and its very nicely described.
Of course mirroring or imitating as long as it works does have an effect. Thus when it doesnt work, when brains dont mirror or imitate behaviour well enough its then that weird stuff starts to happen. Thus brains can imitate bad behaviour as well. Brains dont have prefered frame of reference in my opinion. Thus one could say that majority of children imitate and mirror behaviour well. Minority however does not. This minority is non-conformant. They cannot be as emphatic as majority. Its the way their body works. Nobody is guilty of that however. Its random and basically it is the same as being colour blind. Majority is emphatic. So its a standard.
Majority is not colour blind. So its a standard. But being colour blind doesnt make you
dangerous, while not being emphatic does. Start from randomness and dont pre-condition your own thinking. Let things show themselves as raw as they are and you will see that psychopats-as we call such state- for example are clearly lacking empathy. They are incapable of imitating or mirroring your emotions. They almost cannot do it. They can pretend however. But it is as if a colour blind person pretended to see colours. Of course i am not saying its just a matter of brain. The other side again is social pre-conditioning. If you are laughed at and ridiculed you respond accordingly thus many paths can lead to supressed empathy be it natural or by social pre-conditioning. Its a very complex topic to say the least.
I am not qualified for any of things i talk about of course. But i know what randomness is. You can read lots of this stuff and all you can see is randomness all over. Initial conditions, rapid changes, tendencies...
For example there was a story about lioness that nurtured a gazel i think. There is a factual story of wolf-female or some other species that killed her own infants. She was naturally isolated from the rest of her pack. You can see for example in Meerkat documentaries that Alpha-female does not allow sub-ordinate females to have their own children under her leadership or so i understand. There was a story about dingo who attacked a newly formed dingo family. Thus he attacked male first and killed him. Then he ate all the puppies and after that he chased the female. He chased her for two months or something and he formed a new family with her. Be sure to check reality first.

Us monkeys love to throw our doo.
