The hyenas kill the deer for their food supply, but they just kill what they need to eat they don't kill all the deer so no other animals can eat them. The hyenas would be like humans if they killed off the lions (their competition), but eventually there would be to many of them because they would be the heads of the food chain. So they would not have enough food, so they would kill off all of the other animals that eat the grass so the deer would have plenty of food so they would multiply. .
Mother Culture's story of "how things came to be this way" is,.
"If Mother Culture were to give an account of human history using there terms, it would go something like this: "The Leavers were chapter one of human history-a long and uneventful chapter. Their chapter of human history ended about ten thousand years ago with the birth of agriculture in the Near East. This event marked the beginning of chapter two, the chapter of the Takers, it's true there are still Leavers living in the world, but these are anachronisms, fossils-people living in the past, people who just don't realize that their chapter of human history is over." "(Quinn 42) .
We have grown up being told this story our whole lives and we know of no other because this is what we have been taught by out parents and teachers our entire lives. .
How is it that the entire world know the same myth, we look to archeologist who tell us we evolved from less advanced people. We take pride in our advances, and we look at other species and feel that they are subservient to us. We put zoos into our cities so we can see the animals that live in the "wild", that once used to be our neighbors. We pride ourselves in that we have knowledge over all other things on this earth; we feel that we are the best things that ever touched this planet, so therefor we can do what ever we want. .
We don't care what went on in the past before us we are always looking forward, trying to advance our culture to better the world and the comforts we hold dear to us.
