Fighting may have shaped evolution of human hand

Here is an interesting article.

Here is the most telling quote

"I think there is a lot of resistance, maybe more so among academics than people in general - resistance to the idea that, at some level humans are by nature aggressive animals. I actually think that attitude, and the people who have tried to make the case that we don't have a nature - those people have not served us well.

Well people love to maintain that we're all inherently bad and evil and untrustworthy, only makes sense that evolution built us to be violent.

Primitively, we should be violent. Like most all other members of the animal kingdom.

The only thing that keeps us somewhat non-violent is our creation of "morals" and "good and evil".

I love the concept that we're somehow "above" natural law and such. That we're supposed to turn our backs on being the dominant creature on earth and live a vegan diet and such crap, that we all have to sing kum-bay-ah around a digital representation of a campfire so as to avoid polluting the atmosphere while loving our fellow animal creatures and embracing non-denominational spirituality and being at one with our inner spirit :blink:

I roll at my eyes at people who think like that.

I mean, the people who think that any manner of weapon is beneath them and uncivilized are also on that same boat.

Pfffft. :big_boss:
