In 1972, animal behaviorist John Calhoun built a rat paradise with
beautiful buildings and limitless food. He introduced eight mice to

apocalypse. Here's why:

The fact remains that it had a problem, and one that eventually led
to its destruction. If this behavior is shared by both mice and humans,
can we escape Universe 25's fate?
Wade wants to know...are all mice the same? Are all humans the same?
Are there "intellectual" mice that say "race is an arbitrary social
construct?" Inquiring minds want to know!
