RE: New Dimensions, New Times (in reply to Ruphus)

Albeit proven somewhat brave months ago when I longed into a fierce fight beween two big dogs, separating them alone; it would certainly scare the living *** of me to face a lion, quite possibly even freezing still through adrenalin.
Still, do I not consider methods like above as "fighting".
Similar to employment of a pit trap.

No need to apologize. Just chalk it up to the still rapidly evolving narrative provided by archaeology. It seems that even trained scientists can't resist a good story.

And again, I agree that humans evolved a brilliant talent for cooperation, whatever the forces of selection may have been. Sadly it is a prime reason we are able to destroy the planet. It also enables warfare. Churchill said something to the effect that one of the terrible things about war is that it not only brings out the worst in people, it brings out the best as well.

And thanks for a stimulating discussion. As usual, I have learned something from it.

Same here, Richard, always enjoying your thoughtful contribution. :O)
