Shower thought: We are all descendants of people who were good at killing.
Have there ever been subsequent generations that were removed from any violent conflict, in any other time in human history?
- whatshisface 7y agoMost of us are probably descendants of people who were good at farming, and surviving the occasional war, famine or natural disaster.
- Razengan 7y agoWhy farm when you make someone weaker farm for you? And surviving wars (which have been more frequent than occasional), famines and disasters is generally easier for those who are good at killing. You can't just hide without any weapons and hope marauders don't loot you.
