Human mimicry

The human being does not have a function called the mimicry genetically. This is because it did not have to learn mimicry in a process of the evolution because a human being had a way surviving other than a method making mimicry so far. On the other hand, the human hands and feet and brain greatly developed and obtained ability to put things into a thought, an action logically. The human being can bring about it even if a human being does not possess the smell ingredient with protective coloration and the chemical substance. In fact, various mimicry methods were thought out now. To see a specific example.

Batesian mimicry

Costume Play of the police, flashy hair color, etc.

In the human Batesian mimicry, relations of model and mimic do not consist of the public or an object a model class at the same time to have to be the thing which is afraid of thought to be the menace if model class in itself does not do appearance to express one's situation. The creature becoming the model class starts a warning color openly on the front to make it a model class, but judges a danger class from clothes and appearance in the human being world. Therefore it is necessary to examine it closely well what you make mimicry in.

Mullerian mimicry

Police, lawyer, etc.

Mimicry is a method to do between the people who Mullerian mimicry is Batesian mimicry, and become a model. As previously described, it cannot be necessarily said that it is so, but the human being may judge a position and a viewpoint from clothes and appearance. The habit is inherited from old days (ex. Clothes;changing by the position including the ceremonial dress). Therefore we attach a uniform and a specific batch and do it if assigned to a particular occupation, and the need that it is comes out to a decided appearance. In other words we often make a figure that generally the people taking occupations to become the menace to the world public resembled closely.

Cryptic mimicry

Under cover of camouflage clothes, the crowd, etc

Cryptic mimicry that is the mimicry that is the most famous in the mimicries of the creature is remarkable among human beings. What look for the specific person who is the place where people crowded is full of difficulty even if we do not intend to mimic. If it covers the tree, I say in a forest, but it may be simple and incomprehensible that the human mimicry hides in a human being.

Peckhamian mimicry

Fraudulent, billing fraud, etc.

We say a method that Peckhamian mimicry looks harmless and approaches, and to prey on. In other words we point to the kind of the fraud such as the badness commercial laws to say in human beings. It may be said that it is a thing questioned about the most mimic quality in the mimicry. There is a feeling of pressure that resembled closely to a creature because the side (the predation side) to coax makes it an occupation. Therefore it may be said that it is the mimicry that is the nearest to a creature in the human mimicry.
