Just curious, is this just hyperbole or do you have an actual example?
ETA: I mean the "older than humankind itself" part. Like what does that mean in this context?

- vxNsr 5y agoI meant the older than humankind part, obviously there are many humans throughout history who were both military generals and political leaders.
- alanbernstein 5y agoMaybe a group of apes led by (political) the strongest one (military)?
- thaumasiotes 5y agoGroups of chimpanzees are often led by the strongest one. They are also often not led by the strongest one - you can take over the group by forming a coalition to depose the current leader. Then you fight him.
- alanbernstein 5y agoThat's interesting - still seems like a "military action".
- thaumasiotes 5y agoWell, yes, that's my point.
