Millions of years of evolution have shaped mankind into what it is today.
shared heritage with the animals has left its imprint upon the unconscious.
behavior patterns of humans. One such aspect is that of territorial behavior. A.
territory is an area occupied by a group, mating pair, or single person and.
often vigorously defended against intruders. Confrontations are usually avoided.
by humans through the use of well established markers. These markers show.
territorial boundaries on three levels, tribal, familial, and personal.
Tribal territories originated from the first small units of men, numbering.
about one hundred or fewer individuals. These tribes had a camp surrounded by.
hunting grounds. Tribes used special singles to prevent other tribes from.
intruding onto its territory. Eventually agrarian societies replaced.
hunter-gatherers and cities formed. As tribes became cities and eventually.
nations, the body paint and other primitive markings became flags, soldiers.
uniforms, city walls, and marked country borders. However as the size of the.
tribe grows the individual feels less collected to the group. To make up for.
this new psudotribes are created. These can be youth gangs, sports teams, clubs,.
unions, or anything else which allows the individual to belong to a specific.
group. Each group has its own ways of identifying its members and excluding.
outsiders. When a country or city is threatened the members of that region band.
together to defend it from the invaders.
One step down from the tribal unit is the exclusive family unit. The heart of.
the family unit's territory is the home. Before feeling comfortable in a house,.
families feel the need to personalize their house with nicknacks and other.
accessorizes that mark the house as their own. The purpose of a family is to.
raise and protect children until they are mature. This is reflected in the room.
placement in houses. The master bedroom or "nest" is furthest from the entrance.

Furthermore, these laws suppress our natural instincts. "It is impossible to overlook the extent to which civilization is built up upon a renunciation of instinct, how much it presupposes precisely the non-satisfaction of powerful instincts" (Freud 52). This "powerful instinct" is our innate impulse for destruction: "Besides the instinct to preserve living substance and to join it into ever larger units, there must another, contrary instinct seeking to dissolve those units and to bring them back to their primeval, inorganic state" (Freud 77). Civilization has suppressed our instinct, and co...
