What gave it away, the endless war promotion built on propaganda and lies?
"Study suggests violence is an evolutionary adaptation; Chimp research rejects theory of human impact" by Carolyn Y. Johnson | Globe Staff September 17, 2014
Is war a modern human invention, or does it have deep roots in biology? The age-old question has inspired theories by historians, anthropologists, and philosophers.
People have long known that chimpanzees occasionally attack and kill their own kind, and one theory holds that the violence is the result of humans’ impact on their environment.
But a new study on chimps, led by a prominent Harvard University evolutionary biologist, suggests that the origins of human violence may be found deep in evolution, and that chimps kill one another because such violent acts give them a reproductive and survival advantage, and a way of eliminating rivals.
What kind of violence are you talking about?
“The value of this report is it debunks once and for all the idea that this behavior is unnatural, an artifact of human presence,” Steven Pinker, a psychology professor at Harvard not involved in the research, wrote in an e-mail. “Humans have an innate thirst for blood that has to be periodically slaked. Needless to say, I think that all this is profoundly wrongheaded.”
My God, they are making us all out to be Zionist Israelis!
The study, published in the journal Nature on Wednesday, was led by Richard Wrangham, a professor of human evolutionary biology at Harvard, who has been working at field sites in Africa since the 1970s. The researchers examined records from chimpanzee communities in Tanzania, Senegal, Guinea, Ivory Coast, the Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Uganda.
They found that human behaviors such as feeding animals or disturbing their habitat did not appear to cause more killings. Instead, lethal attacks seem to be more common in crowded communities with lots of males, suggesting that the violence may be an adaptation that helps in the competition for food and mates.
“The chimp model is a very helpful model for understanding how some of humans’ really challenging kinds of behavior have been favored by natural selection,” Wrangham said. “The aggressors can kill at incredibly low risk to themselves, and the reason is that they chose to attack only when they have an overwhelming imbalance of power.”
In other words, they ACT JUST LIKE the governments of NATO or the Zionist entity known as Israel!

The 800-pound gorilla in the room.
As a peaceful, caring, nonviolent, and compassionate person I am insulted and offended by this slop spewing forth from the bastion of chosen supremacism. They speak only for themselves and their masters, not me.
