Is war the natural state of humanity?

Probably

No. War is a conceptual abstraction that came about as a consequence of agriculture and the political complexities that ensued from its development. Prior to that time conflict was limited to low level raiding for resources, territory, and mates that was actually quite rare and small scale.

Yes.

War is the Way of Man. Man is the Means of War.

Do you even /k/ubism?

Since Cain killed Abel.

>>30109323
The story of Cain and able is an alegory for >>30109291 so literally yes.

When we had agriculture we had surplus. When you have surplus you have things worth stealing, you also have the ability to support a dedicated warrior class.

>>30109429
What do you know, when people became people we decided to go to war.

>>30109267
No. It happens, but it was never continuous and it's not the only thing we do well. Have you been getting all your ideas about the world from CoD and Cormac McCarthy novels?

what the fuck is going on in that pic

I think preparing for war and recovering from it is the natural state of humanity.

>>30109267
I wish zombies or shit were real and an actual threat so that humanity would be forced to work together and fight against

>>30109267
Yes, according to Hobbes.
