Not really. If it were, we wouldn’t have survived as a species. It’s what we focus on, but it actually makes up a very small segment of the overall human experience.
I disagree. Conflict is what has driven our development as a species. The first tools weren’t for building, they were weapons. Even today, so much new scientific development happens as a result of war, especially in medicine.
Tools predate humans… The first tools weren’t weapons. The first human tools weren’t even weapons for internal conflict, they were for hyenas, since that seems to be what was predominantly hunting us at that point.
