Early Humans Were Prey, Not Predators, Experts Say

Source: news.nationalgeograp...
A new theory aims to debunk what some scientists call a long-running—and misguided—scientific bias that early humans were warlike.
Early Humans Were Prey, Not Predators, Experts Say Prehistoric
people were cooperators, not fighters That's the
new theory proposed in two recent books and at a talk last month during
an annual scientific meeting.

Conquistadors/
Unlike Europeans, the Incas still lived in sacred
time, for them the Sun was god, and everyday they worship his first
appearance from the bitter and day and night. and we thought this was
the whole world said one of them. for we knew of no other. Until the Spanish came/European.

The theory is part of a movement to
debunk a long-running scientific bias that early humans were warlike.'It
developed from a basic Judeo-Christian ideology of man being inherently
evil, aggressive, and a natural killer,' said Robert W. Sussman, an
anthropologist at Washington University in St. Louis.'In fact,
when you really examine the fossil and living nonhuman primate evidence,
that is just not the case.'

(7:49) If the africans had insight and
understood what the europeans were doing to the europeans,he could have
saved himself from the slave trade. If these people would do that to
their children,there is nothing for me to expect.

And when the europeans
hit his shore he would have killed them on sight! That would have ...been
the end of that. He wasn't alerted to it, He was still hung up with the
fact if i have humanity ,somebody else come i'll treat him like a human
being. cause i'm a human being.

Treat him like a guest,and end up being
a slave! That same kind of sentiment is still among african people till
this very day! Still (NAIVETY) about the guest. The Aztecs in Mexico
did the same thing with Cortez, when he took over Mexico,less then 2000
men took over all Mexico! came as a guest,stayed as a conquer.

WE
HAVEN'T LEARN TILL THIS VERY DAY! Black/White Alliances &
the subject of being (NAIVE)by John Henrik ClarkeIf
there is one thing that can be said about Black people that has caused a
lot of pain, and yet is historically true, is that politically we are
one of the most naive of people.

We have been taken in by practically
everything and everybody that has come to us. I think this
taking in and this betrayal has something to do with both our weaknesses
and our strengths. If you find the strengths of a people, you will find
their weaknesses because the two are closely related.We have been
hospitable to strangers—nearly always to the wrong strangers!

Nearly all
of our relationships with non-African people began with a dinner
invitation. More than anyone else in the world we repeatedly
invited our future conquerors to dinner. I'm going to be dealing with
Black-White alliances, going back 2,500 years.I think that the
nature of our betrayal by people who come among us, and who solicit our
help and get it, tells us a lot.

It tells us something that is quite
frightening, i.e., we are totally an un-obligated people. We
don't owe Christianity anything because we created the religion. The
Jews bought it and sold it back to us and used it a basis for the slave
trade. We created Islam; then, the Arabs after years of fruitful
partnership with us, turned on us and used Islam to justify the Arab
slave trade.

We created the concept called socialism. This is
established in the fact that an African king 1300 years before the Birth
of Christ was preaching the same thing from the throne that Karl Marx
thought he invented. When the newly found socialism used us, it turned
on us.'No people are really free until they become the
instrument of their own liberation. Freedom is not legacy that is
bequeathed from one generation to another.

Each generation must take and
maintain its freedom with its own hands.' ---John Henrik ClarkeIf
you want something you've never had before, you must do something
you've never done before.-
