So, I decided to share\nthe&nbsp;story of the 100th monkey on the Japanese island of Koshima, from the\nbook by Ken Keyes, Jr.,<strong> <\/strong>where scientists dropped sweet\npotatoes from a helicopter down to the Macaca Fuscata<strong> <\/strong>monkeys on the\nislands.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/DSCF3248-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16967\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the young monkeys exhibited an unusual behaviour &#8211; she did not\nlike eating the potato with sand all over it, so she began washing the potato first\nand then eating it. This behaviour was followed by her family and friends. When\nit reached the 100th monkey, an unusual thing happened. All the monkeys on the\nisland began washing the potato and eating it. In short, it spread to the whole\nisland and even crossed the sea. To their immense surprise, Scientists observed\nthis behaviour in monkeys from other disconnected islands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/DSCF3290-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16970\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>100th Monkey is a hypothetical phenomenon that states that if a critical\nmass is reached, it has a tendency to spread and multiply in great magnitude. Its\ncentral idea is that when enough individuals in a population adopt a new idea\nor behaviour, there occurs an ideological breakthrough that allows this new\nawareness to be communicated directly from mind to mind without the connection\nof external experience and then, all individuals in the population\nspontaneously adopt it. In other words, when enough of us hold something to be\ntrue, it becomes true for everyone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/DSCF3274-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16968\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG-20190822-WA0034-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16975\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The children were very curious about it, then all the students started\nthinking about what special thing we are doing in this program and they were\ninterested to hear and know about the program.
