Just image the carnage they could cause if they had guns.........yikes!
I noticed Cripplecreek is there too.........Well that's good, I thought he had left us due to health reasons.
American Anthropologist Napoleon Chagnon during his long-term ethnographic field studies of the Yanomamö, a society of indigenous tribal Amazonians, showed a strong positive correlation between homicide and reproductive success. The more men you kill, the more grandchildren you have.
Bigfoot was a robot. Who gave us aspirin, the miracle drug
Dolphins were washing up on shore dead... I suspect war with a rival pod over tuna reserves... Biologists looked for a man made reason
It seems that war is not the worst thing.
Professor Rudolf Rummel studied government murder, such as the German-Jewish Holocaust, and mass murder under Stalin and Mao. He found that for everyone person who died in war between governments, 6 died at the hand of their own government.
He is reported to have said something like:
Karl Marx was right, socialism works, it is just that he had the wrong species.
Well! What happened to the common house cat? The envirowakos always claim house cats kill billions of furry and feathered creatures, for fun, every year. Did the researchers forget them??
I war that wiped out 20% of the population is rare and devastating. We would have to be at that rate continuously to match the meerkat in this study.
Man is not included on thet list which lists proportion of deaths from same species vs all other species. We are the ultimate Apex predator. I am sure all the snake bites, spider bites, shark attacks and pit bull maulings are small in total number compared with man killing man.
LoL ... I wonder if they factored life span in the calculations ... as the species obtains a longer life span, can the stats be adjusted to reflect lethality per years of existence of the individual members? LOL
