A house in image and likeness

In general, any species, human or animal, needs a specific habitat to thrive. Even an artificial protospecies has its own habitat.

The ordinary person, accustomed to the comforts of the city, is indeed accustomed to an unnatural habitat, characterized by a crust of human activities, plants, concrete slabs, sewers, placed on top of nature as a substitute. Indeed, an artificial protospecies cannot survive in a natural habitat.

Its habitat is also artificial, therefore the model through which a protospecies satisfies its primary existential needs is artificial. The habitat can be inhabited passively, as in the case of many insects, or more or less actively, by digging holes, building structures, or simply altering the olfactory carpet or other subtle elements of the habitat.

The balance between the species populating a habitat is called biocenosis, and represents a prosperous harmonious model within which these species can progress evolutionarily, even and sometimes to the detriment of another species, while maintaining the biocenosis of the habitat as a constant element.

The complexity of the human being places him in the possibility of making profound changes in the habitat he occupies. The modifications of a habitat obviously respond to a species need. But what happens in the human kingdom, where individuals usually aggregate into cultural "protospecies"? Exactly what is predictable happens: the most numerous and invasive protospecies are also the least evolved, and tend to assume collective relational and reproductive models, forming colonies.
