During an experiment in 1952
a spontaneous cultural innovation was observed among a group of monkeys on the island of Koshima in Japan. The studies indicated that a specific set of circumstances led to an ideological breakthrough or "paradigm shift" in the behavior of the entire population of monkeys.

To the amazement of the scientists, when a certain number of monkeys reached a critical mass, the learned behavior was spread almost instantaneously to monkeys on the surrounding islands that were not part of the experiment.

Thus it was proven that as a critical number achieves an awareness, this new awareness may be communicated from mind to mind through what science is coming to understand as a morphogenic field that encompasses all of humanity.

In the spirit of this curious discovery in 1952 "The Hundredth Monkey" album is dedicated to the new awareness that is emerging within each individual on our planet and the subsequent building of a new paradigm by and for the human family.
