After Gulliver had left, a large number of small, unintelligent animals without speech but shaped like the Houyhnhnms flooded the country and were only driven out with the help of the Yahoos. As a result, the belief in a Supreme Houyhnhnm became common, and this led to controversies and divisions. The Yahoos survive much as before. During a discussion of evolution, which is completely rejected by the religious Houyhnhnm, a disaster strikes and the island sinks. |
