Why Are You Violent?

Today I show you What Violence Was Like For 300,000 Years. In ancient times, human violence was an intensely personal, immediate experience. Modern society has obscured this primal truth about our species and the evolutionary roots of aggression. This video uncovers the true history of human violence and what it means for us today. From the ancient Nataruk massacre 10,000 years ago to chimpanzee intergroup warfare studied by Richard Wrangham, and the high death rates in hunter-gatherer societies analyzed by Samuel Bowles, the evidence reveals a shocking pattern of direct, face-to-face conflict. We explore how this ancient past still influences us. Drop a comment with what surprised you most. Subscribe for more like this. #evolution #humanbehavior
