narrator: [opening narration - whispered] An experiment, conducted by some scientists on laboratory rats has shown that, in an overcrowded population, repression and dominance bring about a ruthless struggle for survival; a struggle that leads to social aberrations of a pathological and monstrous nature. Sexuality becomes madness, cannibalism. After a few months of observation, it was determined first of all, that this disintegration of social structure was besetting both males and females. A vicious war for supremacy began between the males which lasted uninterruptedly and with a remarkable fierceness until the strongest prevailed. Having become chief, the strongest would then isolate himself with females and would force them to wait for him in a sort of harem while his vigilance dominated the lives of his subjects from above.
narrator: [she continues] Deprived of females the males mated with each other, lacking any alternative. They would go out just to eat and as soon as they met the Chief, they would try to mount him unconsciously, according to that process called "homosexuality of identification". More serious was the alteration of maternal behaviour. The females, having become pregnant and perhaps sensing the tense atmosphere, refused to bear and preferred pain to motherhood until bursting into a slow and exasperated agony. A few agreed to deliver, but right after they lost interest in the offspring. Thus, unable to raise their babies, they were forced to abandon them, watching their cries for help impotently. Where they managed to avoid being devoured by the adults, the survivors, isolated and deprived of motherly care, could not follow a regular pattern of development and grew up abnormal and deformed.
narrator: [she continues] After a while, the general neurosis and the succession of such phenomena, increased the social pathology rate with sudden violence, leading to a single result... the extinction of the population. Thank you.
