Sometimes I wonder what war was like a thousand years ago. Even a hundred years ago, I believe it was a different business. It is not my intention to glorify war in any form; after all, aren't we all participating in small ways every day? Certainly the business of fighting has evolved over time; as we learn to kill people with more expansive and less personal means the stakes are heightened irrevocably.
I suppose I thought it an established fact that we'd evolved from chimps and that we carried with us a predisposition for self preservation and protection of our young. I find it curious that these "female traits" ["efficient and innovative, problem solvers, curious] are thought to evolve along the lines of gender. I wonder whether this is stated as a simple fact or in relation to male chimps.
