I always wonder weather archeologists are trying to justfy our societies violent behaviour by claiming that humans have always been violent. It has been noted that at times of conflict archeologists try and find cases of ancient violence. And guess what they find a few battered skulls and then come to the conclusion that we've been killing each other since Homo Sapiens first walked the Earth. Unfortunatly violence makes the news. The best way for an archeologist to get more grant money is to find so called massacre sites. Cannabilism a good one too. Nice and gory, just right for the currant blood thirsty public.
I'm not saying there was no violence in the past but I do wonder how much the evidence has been exaggerated to get a good headline and more grant money.
Lets be honest a story about the peaceful existance of ancient people wouldn't make headline news. It has to be spiced up so even if the evidence is sparse who cares. Most of the general public are not going to check it out after all.
The shame of it all is that the public will not getting a balanced picture.
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
