The ravens were probably brought to the Tower only in about 1870 to 1890, they were never The tale that the ravens were established in the mentioned in print before the last decade of the Tower of London during the reign of Charles II nineteenth century. The legend that Britain will and that Britain will fall if they leave is far more fall if the ravens leave the Tower was never than just another “urban legend.” It does not mentioned in remote antiquity, nor even from the simply recount a story of isolated human beings, reign of Charles II, but first only around the end but is far greater in scope. The tale is about the of World War II.10 On realizing this, I initially felt destiny of a people, and, without speaking disappointed. Like most people, I had wanted to metaphorically, we can call it a “modern myth.” believe the institution of the Tower Ravens was very ancient. To link the fate of a people intimately with a group of animals is a manifestation of what I found a sort of solace in the realization that, anthropologists call “totemism.” The idea of even if the ravens do not represent an ancient totemism was developed in the latter nineteenth tradition, their legend reflects some very archaic century by anthropologists and folklorists in impulses. A modern legend is not necessarily less Britain. The term was used in many ways, just as authentic than an ancient one. it is today, but the most restrictive meaning was to refer to the mythic descent of a tribe from an Since ancient times, people have looked to birds animal such as the bear or eagle.

Levi-Strauss argued that totemism should refer, not to a system of belief or to a stage of human progress, but to a means of organizing human relationships by analogies with the natural world.12 In this sense, the concept of totemism can be applied to the ravens in the Tower of London. It is very difficult to know to what extent people really think that Britain will fall if the ravens leave the Tower. Not very many will admit to being so superstitious, but, otherwise, why do they keep the ravens in the Tower at all? Whether it is more a matter of belief or sentiment, the British describe themselves and the ravens as sharing a common fate. This seems “primitive,” which is no doubt part of the reason why people assume that the familiar prophesy about the Tower ravens must go back to archaic times. It would seem, however, that we in the contemporary world have not lost the capacity for creating myths.

Why do the British, at least some of them, identify with ravens rather than with some other animal—say, the eagle or the badger? Part of the Figure 1. A Tower Raven, courtesy of Boria Sax reason is that the raven has strong associations with pre-Christian Britain. Ravens were closely linked with many Celtic deities worshipped in early Britain such as Lugh, Morrigan and, most especially, Bran. They were also associated with Odin or Woton, the Germanic god of battles. He had two ravens, Hugine (thought) and Munine (memory) perched on his shoulders, and they flew around the world to bring him news. Ravens were also associated with the Roman God Mithras, who was worshipped by the Romans. The Tower ravens may thus represent a link to their ancient heritage, long before the Tower of London was built.

The ravens in the Tower show a rare instance where the genesis of a myth may be documented. Contemporary people, for all their presumed Figure 2. Feeding time for the Tower Ravens, rationality, are not really so different from our courtesy of Boria Sax ancestors in archaic times.

Children unanimously affirmed Canis’ biology, at least 70% of children affirmed all mental state and companionship questions about Canis, and at least 80% stated it was “not OK” to cause Canis harm (5 questions). However, over 50% of children also affirmed AIBO’s mental states (4 of 6 questions), companionship (5 of 6 questions) and moral standing (6 of 7 questions). In summary, while children sharply distinguish living and robotic dogs, most children attribute psychological, companionship and moral standing (but not biology) to a robot dog, even after a brief exposure. Preliminary data were presented at the Tenth International Conference on Human- Animal Interactions, Glasgow, Scotland, October 8, 2004.
