The Japanese snow monkey (Macaca fuscata) has been observed over a period of more than 30 years. In 1952, on the Japanese island of Kojima, Japanese scientists regularly gave the monkeys sweet potatoes, which they threw into the sand.
The monkeys loved the taste of the raw sweet potatoes, but didn't enjoy the fact that they were full of sand. Then a young female monkey found that she could solve the problem by washing the potatoes with water. She showed the trick to her mother and then to her playmates, who in turn showed it to their mothers. This cultural achievement was subsequently adopted by more and more monkeys in the tribe, as the scientists observed.
Between 1952 and 1958, all young monkeys learned to wash the sandy sweet potatoes, making them much more edible. The adults who followed suit with their young also learned this cultural improvement. Other adults did not immediately do so.
Then, in the fall of 1958, something very astonishing happened. Meanwhile, a larger number of snow monkeys were washing their sweet potatoes (the exact number is not known, it was hypothesized to be 99). And then it happened that the hundredth monkey also learned to wash his sweet potatoes. The hundredth monkey's additional energy somehow caused a collective consciousness shift. The custom of washing sweet potatoes spread across the sea. The monkey colonies on other islands and on the mainland also began washing their potatoes. This despite the fact that there was no physical contact between the different populations!
Although the exact number 100 may vary, this hundredth monkey phenomenon means that if only a limited number of individuals know a new path, it remains a conscious possession of only those individuals. But there comes a point at which just one more person tuning into a new insight gives it the residual energy necessary for that insight to reach almost everyone.
So let's join in one monkey at a time
move – regardless of our current size!
