to know one. As soon as you have "my tribe" you also unfortunately have
"not in my

this brilliant career ahead of them in the armed forces.
I imagine that most of the fighting done by men throughout human evolution has been
against animals. Only a few of those animals were also human. This was a dirty job, no
doubt, but someone had to do it - if early humans were to survive, and get some protein
in their diets. I think there's an idea that eating meat helped us on the path to
big-brained dominant species that we are today (apart from all the beetles and things).
Hunting and eating meat no doubt provided an ecological niche that selected for a smart,
cooperative, weapon making ground ape.
