"In the 1960s, American psychologist Harry Harlow performed a series of experiments pertaining to maternal-separation and social isolation. They discovered that when monkeys are touch-deprived from infancy onward, they develop highly antisocial tendencies. Although the monkeys raised in partial isolation tended to be able to be socially rehabilitated, it was often a difficult process, impossible for monkeys raised in total isolation." Shino paused briefly, glancing briefly at the sky before continuing. "We didn't touch, in my family. It wasn't my father's way. It has made it... difficult for me to become completely socially acclimated. That's all."
