Way,way back,Calhoun wanted to assess how density would affect behavior.He put lots of rats in a large cage and as it became more crowded behavior sank to a new low.This was generalized to imply that under crowded conditions interacting with density behavior could run amok. However,the conditions of the Chilean miners seem to violate that rule.The critical variables in the Chile situation are the possility of escape and social cohesiveness.
