morlocks and eloi

It turns out that it was rather easy, and we are witnessing a replay of […], s England. Yet this can go on for quite some time, before interbreeding becomes impossible in principle, because of a failure of the reproductive process in cross-breeding. At the most basic level, we argue that throughout history, the class of oligarchs (that is, the wealthy & powerful) are far more likely to have chosen  their mates from among other wealthy & powerful people, rather than from the lower classes. Human races and ethnic groups may be considered somewhat analogous to sub-species or breeds. If dogs from different breeds do mate together, the result is called a “mongrel” and is excluded from the entire category of purebred dogs. This is in spite of the fact that these subspecies of dogs have been created in a relatively short period of time compared to man’s evolution. These individuals from northern (perhaps Aryan, Indo-European and / or Uralic) tribes who found themselves ruling over the various nations of Semites, Africans and Asians would have been highly motivated to breed only amongst themselves: not only because of the political advantages, but because they would have been choosing partners from within their own ethnic tribe, as opposed to the foreigners that they were ruling over. The apathy displayed by the Eloi or “the little people” reveals the race to be rather daft, inactive, and helpless. Now there's a new pandemic developing in China. Then I got married to Sutanuka (Tanuka) in March 2005. It is also highly likely that the oligarchs are descended from a small founder group; that is, there was almost certainly a single tribe, or a small number of tribes, that were extraordinarily successful in conquering the various nations of the ancient Near East (Eurasia and North Africa), and thus inserting their members into powerful positions, ruling over the members of many less fortunate ethnic groups. However, neither the Eloi nor the Morlocks are fully human. If we define an ethnicity in terms of a group of people with a shared geographic region, shared language, shared religion, and / or shared culture, then we will find that those people breed within their group far more often than they breed outside of it, and also that the genes of pairs of individuals drawn from within that group will be more similar to each other on average, than the genes of individuals drawn at random from anywhere on the planet. The Relationship Between Eloi and the Morlocks in The Time Machine by H.G. This model reflects the view that ancient human populations such as the Neanderthals of Europe (and others) did not truly go extinct, but rather they contributed some gene flow to the most dominant strain which came late out of Africa; and that these various population groups have been vigorously interbreeding and exchanging DNA ever since. Although of course mongrels are still members of the species of dogs, they are not considered a part of either of the “sub-species” of their parents. So, in the end, above ground you must have the Haves, pursuing pleasure and comfort and beauty, and below ground the Have-nots, the Workers getting continually adapted to the conditions of their labour. In return, the Morlocks eat the Eloi. Having originated from a distant location, these pale-skinned rulers would have had a very distinct sense of their peculiar racial identity in contrast to their subjects. And, important […], In his book Caesar's Messiah, Joseph Atwill showed that Christians have unknowingly been worshiping the head of the church (and state) instead of a divine being. Of course, I couldn’t find a replacement for the picture, so that remains. Commonplace Book / Georgetown University / Fall 2013, Jameson’s subversion of residual/emergent theory, Questioning the Present Through the Future, Jekyll and Hyde Are Not Two Different Characters. While the time-traveler aligns himself with the Eloi, especially through his relationship with Weena, an eloi he rescues from drowning, readers may be confused as to which species/race they are supposed to express sympathy. However, this does not mean that “race” is a meaningless concept. Similarly, the members of an ethnic group may share physical characteristics on the average, and in contrast to other ethnic groups. If a species is separated into two or more groups which are not allowed to interbreed, they will start to drift apart genetically. Why the masses are not flocking to Postflaviana? What spurs this evolution or possibly revolution we will never know, but as a reader, I feel more inclined to sympathize or at least try to understand the Morlock’s cruel point of view because of the action and strategies they employ in their daily lives where I think the Eloi exercise none. The concept of ‘species’ and ‘sub-species’ in modern biology. Wells's The Time Machine by Tyler Rispoli Introduction Written during the height of Victorian society in England, H.G. Wells 2336 Words 10 Pages Wells used the novel to get the messages across on social and political problems at the time when London was on top of the world. These days I am in San Jose. Otherwise I am a son to Dr. Praphulla Kumar Sinha and Mrs. Tripti Sinha, a brother to Kokonad Sinha and the husband of Sutanuka and the father of Aikataan. The Eloi are happy, carefree people who live above the earth’s surface, eating fruit and basking in the sun, while the Morlocks lurk in the underground and shadows, hiding from light and only venturing out of their dark habitats to capture and feed on the Eloi race. And that you will describe the social structure of […], Claude Badley asked: Claude Badley said: And you too cannot yet say that the masses are flocking to Postflaviana or to Joe's podcasts to solve the grave problems mankind face - which of course they ought to be. the exclusive tendency of richer people—due, no doubt, to the increasing refinement of their education, and the widening gulf between them and the rude violence of the poor—is already leading to the closing, in their interest, of considerable portions of the surface of the land. As it is often said: uneasy is the head that wears the crown. Reflections on History Through the Eloi and Morlocks In H.G. The picture above was me, in mid-2004. I am a consultant by profession, working for Deloitte Consulting. As long as interbreeding remains a possibility, the populations are considered to belong to the same species — in this case they are called “sub-species”. The dependency of the Eloi frustrates me as these people seem to do nothing to fight against the Morlocks. Richard Stanley said: I suppose you will grace us with instances of successful fascism, possibly an enlightened and benign fascism? By the same token, the members of this wealthy and powerful ethnic group are becoming increasingly more genetically similar to each other, than they are related to any of the peoples that they rule over. The Morlocks, having been used to heavy labor and what was left of technology, feed and clothe the Eloi. The Eloi are a happy people, who speak a simple language and are mainly interested in playfulness. These populations are separated by their human breeders, so that there is little if any genetic exchange between the breeds. His puppet master, then Who killed the jew. The picture above was me, in mid-2004. Love you Hitler Here is. Of course, as a class, the oligarchs also have access to a wealth of knowledge and experience regarding the science and art of maintaining control over the masses. (Most modern breeds of dogs have been created by breeders in the last 150 years or less, and are still diverging rapidly.). They are the evolutionary descendants of the British elite, who exploited the British poor for so long that the poor evolved into a race of humanoids called the Morlocks… In this state, they appear more like animals, and thus, position themselves as prey in the predator/prey relationship the time-traveler ultimately discovers to exist within this environment. Wells wrote: At first, proceeding from the problems of our own age, it seemed clear as daylight to me that the gradual widening of the present merely temporary and social difference between the Capitalist and the Labourer, was the key to the whole position. A good example of “sub-species” are the various breeds of purebred dogs. This causes the “fuzzy” nature of racial genetics. Thus, over time, the oligarchs (almost by definition) must have become a distinct ethnicity or breeding pool, which is now increasingly diverging from the rest of humanity. Thus, Hart argues, tribes from the North had both the capability and the motivation to achieve military conquest over people of the South. The time-traveler jumps thousands of years into the future to find two types of beings roaming the Earth, the Eloi and the Morlocks. Wells’ The Time Machine presents a very interesting look at what our future could be. However, as a result of the amount of gene flow between the various races and ethnic groups: the genetic distance (as well as morphological difference) between the races of men, is far less that the differences between the various breeds of dogs. The Eloi have grown lazy and dull, while the Morlocks have somehow regained the upper hand in the war between the two species, and have taken to cannibalizing the Eloi that they feed and clothe. In order to explain our concept of the elite in relation to racial concepts, it is necessary to begin with some biological theory. And at this point, the oligarchical class has had a large amount of genetic material introduced from local elites all over the world from every racial background, as well as undergoing distinct evolutionary pressures arising from the unique environment of the elite. “Ethnic group” tends to be more associated with groupings based on culture, religion or nationality, while “race” has a more genetic and physical connotation, but in practice the terms overlap for reasons which I will explain.
