We have even now recently discovered how many of these small societies of hunter gatherers were often part of larger groups that would make primitive ritual sites built at the confluence of their conjoined territories. They frequently banded together to fight outsiders along the migration routes of their big game herds. Conditions naturally developed in the environment that made war unavoidable (IE population growth/rescource aquisition/etc) at least from the perspective of those who made it. So far when viewed objectively warfare was much more prevalent then the new age we love peace so much crowd wants to see. [/FONT]

Can you send links?

So, you say that war is inevitable due to lack of resources for all? Sounds a bit odd to me, seeing how few people there were at the time??


It shows every sign of being a natural process of evolution. One that may or may not be alleviated as we gradually synthesize ourselves in the future (provided what science so far predicts our future to look like happening the way they see it). And if we do go into the stars and encounter other civilizations, I am guessing it's just as likely that the same evolutionary process will be at work there as well.

Hm. evolution is supposed to be about how to get better to adjust to present condition - what we are looking at now is unnecessary wars that could end up killing us all. Doesn't sound like evolution to me.
