If time permits, could you expand a bit on this? I only dip a toe in the subject from time to time, usually while in incidental pursuit of some tangential issue. I am aware that the peaceable kingdom fantasists have infiltrated relevant disciplines, but I also thought that the homo homini lupus/nature red in tooth and claw realists have always hung in the fight, and that the balance was perhaps swinging back their way due to the last generation's archaeological finds evidencing conflict.
I'm sorry but you have just outed yourself as irredeemably deplorable with this referral to a DWEM quote (Alfred, Lord Tennyson). Your name is now on the list of the next 'D' Administration's to be done list! On a good note, at least you avoided quoting Kipling, that would have really marked you in RED!
