war inspires peace

one of the many human mysteries has been the question of how we evolved from the pack mentality of our caves and tribes to living together as social animals in [relatively] peaceful communities

apparently it was our warlike nature that drove us toward peaceful coexistence; constant bloody and lethal conflict with our neighbours drove us to build alliances with them instead [to organize bigger neighbourhoods, which let us have bigger wars]

wonder how far away we are yet from the global neighbourhood?

then we can declare war on the UFOs!

you can pay for the full article at Science mag or read a summary on the New Scientist website

Blessed Be
