Glass salgak@comcast.netBy Angela Watercutter, Email Author, 11.09.12http://www.wired.com/underwire/2012/11/zombie-neuroscience-world-war-z/The first World War Z trailer is out, and the long-anticipated adaptation of Max Brooks’zombie novel looks fairly cool. But it raises one important question: What’s up with allthose swarming zombies?Where are the slow-moving hordes like those in The Walking Dead or the fast-running lonerangers of 28 Days Later? What’s up with the massive throngs of quick-moving ghouls?And what’s the deal with the coordinated efforts of these things and all the body-ladderbuilding?Are World War Z’s raging dead actually — gulp — smart? According to zombieneuroscientist Bradley Voytek, they’re not. So Brad Pitt’s character Gerry Lane has oneless thing to worry about.“Unlike previous ‘fast zombie’ flicks like 28 Days Later wherein the zombies are basicallyacting independently of one another, the zombies here are showing what look likeintelligent behaviors: clustering, swarming and even coming together to form a ‘zombieladder,’” Voytek, a neuroscience Ph.D. who is on the advisory board of the ZombieResearch Society, said in an e-mail to Wired. “While people might be tempted to say thatthe WWZ zombies are therefore somewhat intelligent, I’d argue the zombies here are simplyexhibiting emergent behaviors like what we see with ants.”The behavior, Voytek said, can be akin to those insects, which work together to takedown much bigger spiders or build bridges across large bodies of water. Meaning that eventhough World War Z’s monsters look like they’re forming a well-coordinated army to take

Stupid zombies.World War Z swarms theaters June 21, 2013.
