What a sappy, bat-brained article. Really annoying. Liberals will read every tea leaf possible to prove that mankind shouldn't be violent. There was a scifi program on last night, the plot: a robot had become violent and killed its creator. I tuned in during the trial, where they put a component into its head and it attacked the judge. A blonde...the creator's daughter, rushed forward to cradle the robot's head as they removed the bad component...then the characters spent three or four minutes lamenting violence. The poor robot was kind and gentle, as were all creatures except MAN! (Evidently lions, bears, and tigers killing prey doesn't count.) This is the new mantra of the Left. Teach your children to be kind and loving, we don't have to fight wars anymore...blah, blah, blah. (Who do they think will protect them when the Muslims decide to blow up America?) I hit the remote.

That beats all get out - sympathizing with a robot!!

Liberals are all mentally challenged.

The evidence from this article is subject to different interpretation. I suspect that early man was prey and predatory. They would have to be in order to survive. Of course they cooperated with their families and probably tribes.

Early in pre-history there were probably very few humans and humans may not have fought each other much, since there were so few humans.

This article is talking about man two million years ago, not 40,000 years ago when Neanderthals were killed off by our ancestors.

Forget lions and tigers and bears (Oh, my!). Male himpanzees have been observed forming into war parties that march silently, single file, into another group's territory for the sole purpose of finding, murdering, and mutilating males from the other group.

As for lions, they routinely murder all of the baby lions when they take over a group of females, to kill the children of rival males. But I suppose that's not really murder to leftists, who just love the idea of abortion and infanticide.
