Technology
SUBJECT
The Territorial lcaperattve and Related
Items
1. 1 understand from Mr. Chapman that the Director
asked you whether I had a chance to look at The Territorial,
In peratiye and was interested to an evaluation of it and more
specifically what one might do about it. The following comments
are the gist of my feelings about It.
2. No doubt the Director and Deputy Director were im-
pressed by The Territories. Ira because it made sense to
them. It should. The ideas expressed by Ardrey and to some
extent by Lorenz are technically and scientifically substantiated
on the basis of extensive experimentation cited in these books. I
should say that the degree of scientific validity to A rdrey's concept
of group behavior is far greater than the experimental data from
Freud and others. To try to summarize Ardrey's work, I would
say he is pointing out that man's SE~mg behavior is not random and
is motivated by an "innate'' desire for possession of a defined
territory (real estate), by the need for stimulation, and a need for
identity (the age old question of "' 'hd am 1? Ys). He does not exclude
other well-known motivators such as love, hate, etc. The impor-
tant point is that whatever these forces are, they are exhibited in
a group within certain well-defined constraints throughout the
animal kingdom Including man. The various external forces which
impinge upon modern societies are so complex that man has lost
