In nature, there\u2019s a phenomenon called disruptive coloration. It\u2019s when an animal or insect is multicolored to match its environment\u2014thereby camouflaging itself. It\u2019s especially useful, as I\u2019m sure you can imagine, for predators. For example, the orange and black on a tiger allows it to blend in with the scenery and lie in wait for prey. Humans haven\u2019t evolved this nifty little trick, but some of us have mastered something pretty similar. If you\u2019re a predatory human, you might decide to adopt a disguise to put potential victims at ease. A preacher\u2019s wife, for example. Or a prominent, well dressed business owner. You might develop your people skills, so that anybody who visits your home will feel like royalty. And all the while, behind your smiling eyes, the predator is waiting to pounce.
