Quite a study. I'd like to see a study in which a group of very young children (even babies) are made to populate a controlled environment (where they are served by Automat-style food dispensers) in order to see what form of government they develop in such an untarnished state of nature.

My guess? Anarcho-syndicalism tempered by naptime.

My guess is something closer to Lord of the Flies.

Why would it be different than the societies we have?

I read something like that sometime this year. It was kids of age of the kids from Lord of Flies and they gave them an island or something similar, I forgot the results though.

My guess? Tribalism.

From what I understand, there is no way they would develop any kind of compex language in one generation, and would live something like apes do.
