Home

People have developed what Richard Dawkins called an extended phenotype: the Home as an extension of the organism, an additional shell. In our brain there is a prototype of the home, it is embedded in us from birth. Like all deep behavioral patterns, this is clearly visible in childhood. Children of all nations play House, although no one taught them this. With the loss of a home, our life is not over, but the brain perceives it almost as the loss of a body part. And suffers in the same way. If you have nowhere to return to, no corner of your own, it is difficult for you to fully contact the world and continue to be a full-fledged hypersocial being, like all normal homo sapiens. The loss of a home for a person is an existential tragedy. He immediately finds himself in an incredibly vulnerable position. Practically, as if he had lost the epidermis, and we would have told him: “well, people live without the epidermis.” Live. But shotrly and badly. Other layers of the skin remain, but it no longer gives full contact with the outside world. And further. The father of sociobiology, Edward Wilson, believes that permanent home is the basis of the highest form of organization of living beings: eusociality. Eusociality exists in social insects, ageless underground rodents - naked mole rats, and humanity is also evolving in this direction. Eusociality essentially means "good society". A society where everyone should have a home.
