[ExI] Human Warfare is learned behaviour - not evolutionary

[Bill Hibbard]

I'm skeptical. Early humns needed a strong motive to leave
Africa, where food was plentiful, and travel across and to
much more difficult environments (deserts, the artic).

I believe the motive to migrate was to escape warfare,
especially raids between villages to capture women. I read
one anthropologist who estimated that primitive men who
killed had, on average, three times as many children as men
who did not kill. I believe warfare exists among chimps.
