For those of you who don’t know, Feudalism is a term used to describe the political system during the Medieval Age and since coining of the term in 1614, has been applied to multiple different societies throughout history. Feudalism is a system defined by three major parts, lords, vassals and fiefs. For accuracy, I refer to wikipedia:

The structure of feudalism can be seen in how these three elements fit together. A lord was a noble who owned land, a vassal was a person who was granted possession of the land by the lord, and the land was known as a fief. In exchange for the fief, the vassal would provide military service to the lord. The obligations and relations between lord, vassal and fief form the basis of feudalism

Keep this definition in mind as I (attempt) to dissect an article published by the NY Times earlier today, June 5th.

The naked mole rat (Heterocephalus glaber), also known as the sand puppy, or desert mole rat is a burrowing rodent native to parts of East Africa and the only species currently classified in genus Heterocephalus. It is notable for its eusocial lifestyle, nearly unique among mammals (only the Damaraland mole rat shares the trait), and for a highly unusual set of physical traits that enables it to thrive in a harsh, underground environment; including a lack of pain sensation in its skin, and a nearly cold-blooded metabolism.

Anybody else resisting the urge to just beat it off right now?
