Tonight we take on one of the hardest questions in human history: are we born to be violent - or did we teach ourselves to fight? From the days when our ancestors were prey animals on the savanna, through the first stone weapons, Neanderthal clashes, and the scars left in ancient mass graves…
to the empires built on conquest, the philosophy of Hobbes and Rousseau, and the modern debate about whether we live in history’s most peaceful time - this is the entire evolutionary story of human violence.
🕯️ The story of humanity… told softly.
