- We are living in a peaceful era then we ever did than in the period of our ancestors.
- Our ancestors were more than violent than we are.
- Evidence: 10,000 years ago, hunter-gatherers lived without settlements or governemtents.
When we have more powerful weapons and brutal tactics, how can you say that we are less violent as a whole?
ReplyDeleteI disagree with the point you made about our ancestors being less violent then us. I disagree becaouse our Ancestors were in world wars that effected the whole world. We tried to keep out of the war, but we were forced to get involved because our allies were dying.
