In that case, is it even a border if people aren't frequently peeing all along it?

    Surveyor stakes are the equivalent to peeing on a tree these days.

    And at our core for millions of years we have been pack animals like the wolf or lion or sheep. Lemmy is filled with packs and tribes that will defend their "territory" by expulsion anyone that disagrees with the pack strongly enough. Just as humans have done for those same millions of years.

    I read a study that showed that behavior varies by sex. Women are more likely to exclude an individual from a group while men are more likely to accept almost anyone into the group but just force the ones they view as undesirable to the bottom of the social hierarchy
