What Can Bees Teach Us About Gang Warfare

Evolution is the gradual change in a species' genetic make-up that allows it to adapt to its surroundings better than others. But humans still have some features of our wildlife? Well What Can Bees Teach Us about Gang Warfare? Show us a typical behavior of wildlife applied in the real world and I explain it bellow.

P. Jeffrey Brantingham who is an anthropologist at UCLA has applied the Lotka-Volterra equation, which observed that similarly sized rival groups of a species claim territories between each group´s home base, to study crime. He and his colleagues apply this theorem in the Boyle Heights Neighborhood of Los Angeles East Side where they identified 13 criminal gangs and the results said that their predictions were almost dead on. They will continue working in this research because they want to help police departments predicting the location of gang violence. For example, if two gangs just appear, you should put your police resources between their home base.

In conclusion, we always show some characteristics of our wildlife when we want to solve problems. On other words, as Brantingham said, there is no reason to believe that some of the tenets of wildlife biology would not apply to this ecosystem.
