Researchers found 10 skeletons belonging to humans who died violently 10,000 years ago. It’s a rare find and it could put to rest the myth of the peaceful hunter gatherer.

Maybe this will shut up those hippy vegan types who think our great ancestors were all about picking berries and eating plants, and loving everyone and everything.
But, you don’t know 😂 you will probably never know… Hell, I don’t even know
Thanks for the info, pretty informative
its always about who has the longest pointy stick isn’t it.
That was one crazy black friday
Hmmm Rousseau was wrong about the noble savage
i thought the thumbnail was a bunch of joints
Read ‘Sapiens’. It talks about the increase in violence in hunter gatherers where population density is high. Makes sense in this instance too
Long story short, Africa hasn’t changed.
No different as is today, but now we just savage using deadlier weapons.
They were just pranking each other.
BT‑7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BT‑7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Theories theories theories.…. 😒👎
War, war never changes.
It seems absurd to me that people think ancient peoples weren’t violent. Why would people not fight? If you have 2 groups of people competing for scarce resources its going to happen. People want to survive and if the only way to do that is for another group of people to leave, either by moving on or dying, then that’s going to happen.
This was interesting do more of these
Good old humans. We will be forever violent and I honestly wouldn’t want it any other way.
Isn’t it just so obvious that ancient humans were not peaceful at all and we might be at our most civilized and well mannered time of all of human history?
“But the world is only 6000 years..” Shut. The. Fuck. Up.
Did we know what was the song behind the video? thx
War/conflict is inevitable as it’s a part of life, especially when it comes to survival.
What’s the background music called?
good song choice
The man of that time was adapted to the environment. With so many dangers and beasts he couldn’t be soft.
So much for my college education…
Family feud?
You know its not all that surprising that someone presumed that this one act of violence is prof that hunter gatherers are inclined to kill each other for the same reasons we have in recent history. now aren’t you glad we have the most reasonable and factual perspective on human violence :D. I am, because this will help us all so much in understanding the apparently simple reasons that people kill each other today :D. we should all take this knowledge and tell it to those people who are less informed about the way the world works about how people really work :)…
suffice it to say that a conflict 10,000 years ago between 27 or so hunter gatherers is no more enlightening about real humans than the 27 or so YouTube responses I have read… actually the YouTube responses tell quite a bit more. I’m glad people treat it as a joke.
the commentator throws out the 10000 years so casually, it would almost make you think she went back in time in some time machine. but in fact, she didnt, indicating that any reconstruction of past events falls in realm of historical science. this is simply more propoganda to make people think they are nothing but savage animals. I could say so much more on this subject, but please people, look into biblical model, check out creation.com you will be stunned and amazed how much evidence points away from random chance and millions of years
Duh they weren’t peaceful, they were us.
It’s actually pretty naiive to think that there wouldn’t be conflict between humans in the past if you know that even animals have conflicts and they don’t even have half the brain like ours so why would evolution change that. Even humans today still have wars and I’m not even sure if we will ever find a solution that brings infinite peace.
See? humans are humans.
Humans suck, something else new?
Who believe that they were peaceful. War occur less among them, but that doesn’t mean it was the same with murder.
But CNN said they where peaceful
Read “Constant Battles: The Myth of the Peaceful, Noble Savage” by Steven Le Blanc and Katherine Register (2003).
This is so stupid. People fight for the same reason now as they did in the past. Anytime time people are in competition for resources or beliefs and they cannot be relieved politically then the relieved through violence.
