Of course Humans resemble animal swarms, but not just during protests, during religious gatherings (Hajj, Kumbh Mela etc.), the crowds celebrating sports victories, rush-hour traffic etc.

There is a large body of research around Human crowds in different circumstances.

The movies "Baraka" and "Samsara", both by the same makers, come to mind.

I have only seen Samsara. I found it strangely beautiful but very stressful. The human swarms in it are really unnerving.
