Specially for Neil...an extract from my next work.

O Scholar ! RV 10.134.07
(RigVeda Part 10, Section 134, Verse 7)

O Scholars, exalted of learning 
Of merit high and divine !

Engage not to violate
Nor deepen the divide
Nor act to please
Nor them appease 
Who aim unjust
By their desires deviant.

Live simple, as the Vedas lay
Hymn on lips, heart on the Way
By the light of seers who trod before
This love warm in each being’s core.

Subsist on gifts that folks make
Ease their burden for all our sake.

Toil in concert and in tandem exert
With the weakest hands at the work.

...

It is a freely paraphrased expression in my understanding of the verse.

So, when I hear of ancient humans described as barbarians, uncultured, lawless, 
and what not...
I wonder.
