Not by people, is the point. Rights only apply in terms of humans and human society, obviously.
- rayiner 9y agoI doubt humans that existed pre-civilization were any less likely to violently take property and life from other humans than were the apes they evolved from. Killing and eating your neighbor is one of the most fundamental freedoms you have as an organism. Only in the context of society does exercising that natural freedom become a violation of someone's rights.
