Read about The "Universe 25" experiment it is one of the most terrifying experiments in the history of science, which, through the behavior of a colony of mice, is an attempt by scientists to explain human societies. The idea of "Universe 25" Came from the American scientist John Calhoun, who created an "ideal world" in which hundreds of mice would live and reproduce. More specifically, Calhoun built the so-called "Paradise of Mice", a specially designed space where rodents had Abundance of food and water, as well as a large living space. In the beginning, he placed four pairs of mice that in a short time began to reproduce, resulting in their population growing rapidly. However, after 315 days their reproduction began to decrease significantly. When the number of rodents reached 600, a hierarchy was formed between them and then the so-called "wretches" appeared. The larger rodents began to attack the group, with the result that many males begin to "collapse" psychologically. As a result, the females did not protect themselves and in turn became aggressive towards their young. As time went on, the females showed more and more aggressive behavior, isolation elements and lack of reproductive mood. There was a low birth rate and, at the same time, an increase in mortality in younger rodents. Then, a new class of male rodents appeared, the so-called "beautiful mice". They refused to mate with the females or to "fight" for their space. All they cared about was food and sleep. At one point, "beautiful males" and "isolated females" made up the majority of the population. As time went on, juvenile mortality reached 100% and reproduction reached zero. Among the endangered mice, homosexuality was observed and, at the same time, cannibalism increased, despite the fact that there was plenty of food. Two years after the start of the experiment, the last baby of the colony was born. By 1973, he had killed the last mouse in the Universe 25. John Calhoun repeated the same experiment 25 more times, and each time the result was the same.
Calhoun's scientific work has been used as a model for interpreting social collapse, and his research serves as a focal point for the study of urban sociology.

Mice is not a social animal. Although they can be found in groups, they do not actually live together like buffaloes or a school of fish. Having a varied diet means they are partly hunters too and such aggressive behavior can come out negatively if there is not enough challenges or activity in their life.
More so with humans. Although we crave company, those that truly seek large groups are more self-serving and violent than those who likes to be lone wolves. Example, party people v farmers. The farmers are more likely to help another in need than those who are nightclub owls and in case of an altercation, the party people would more tend to gang-up on a fallen while the farmers more likely to break the fight.
We are really not meant to live in a city environment. Not only is this generally unhealthy but it breeds violence and self destruction when there is not much productive activity to do.

Wallen's reply is quite on-point. If we can subscribe to the belief that "all men and women are created equal" then one's connection to their social group impacts their behavior for all men and women do not behave the same in the most fundamental sense.

We aren't Mice, we aren't Minnows, we aren't cats (although they and cockroaches will likely survive us) and we are NOT chimpanzees (or anything related to them).
Our future has been detailed in Revelation (do Not try to read this without help)
