This conclusion was not an original idea, but it was something he learned from the Houyhnhnms. That idea was the inferiority and disgust of the Yahoos. Sure, Gulliver was similar to the Yahoos, but the problem was quickly resolved. In fact, one of the first things he and the Houyhnhnms learned was that Gulliver both resembled and differed greatly from the Yahoos. Gulliver was hairless and clothed compared to his wild counterparts [Swift, 245]. Additionally, Gulliver seemed smarter than the Yahoos with greater situational awareness. The Yahoos, in contrast, were illiterate and had no established form of communication [Swift, 241]. The Houyhnhnms realized that the two were different when this hairless Yahoo did not eat raw meat when presented to him [Swift, 245]. From that moment on, native society welcomed Gulliver and began to cultivate his reason. Once Gulliver distinguished himself from the Yahoos, he quickly began to criticize them. After spending enough time with the Houyhnhnms and personally observing the Yahoos, Gulliver believed that they were indeed as disgusting as the Houyhnhnms thought. He soon hated the Yahoos just as he hated the Houyhnhnms. He knew he was superior to the Yahoos in several ways. However, his ignorance was short-lived. That is until he was bathing in the river and a Yahoo woman in the river tried to seduce him (272). This led him to the conclusion: "females had a natural bias towards me because I was of the same species as them." (272) Such a disgusting realization, that it might have some correlation with these dirty animals, changed his life. It wasn't the pure revulsion of the Yahoos but their comparability to humans. Even the Houyhnhnms understood this. They came to the conclusion that the humans described by Gulliver were not very far from them
