There’s competing theories that we just bred with Neanderthals and we’re the result. Explains a lot of our DNA.
I think you’re on much thinner ice saying that it’s a part of our nature to stand over others.
If anything, cooperation is our most natural inclination.
Sure, cooperation with the others in the tribe. Not global cooperation.
Is humanity as a whole not your tribe? On what basis do you decide who is in your tribe?
humans seem to favor exclusiveness, so as long as your tribe is better than another tribe, all good. But the global tribe has no one to exclude.
fuck those aliens
well yeah, they raped thier slaves for sure. Thus the dna. But if you notice throughout history humans cooperate well only when it is to beat another group down. So the nature is to form exclusive groups and then supress other groups.
