We were pack hunters and lived in societies way before evolving into modern humans.
Right! Has no one paid attention to chimpanzees, baboons, or other primates? Recognizing those like yourself and working together is baked in. Even in species that are even farther away from us, in an evolution sense, we see cooperation.
Modern technological human history is only about a hundred years … we were cavemen and acting like scared children for about 50,000 years before and like frightened monkeys for 2 million years before that … we may have landed on the moon but we are closer to our ancient ancestors than to any futuristic highly evolved human society.
We’re more like cavemen with nuclear weapons.
No.
This is a load of shit. Why it has up votes blows my mind.
Do some reading or watching of hunter gatherer societies and you’ll see lots of group survival activities. Teamwork in hunts, in preserving food, in crafting tools, and making shelter.
If we were this self-centered, we wouldn’t have such advanced communication, which is how we were able to do all those group activities.
Survival of the fittest is survival of those that cooperate.
It’s a comic about cavemen. It can be entertaining and interesting without being a complete representation of early human society. That said afaik there is evidence people in prehistory killed each other a lot.
I don’t doubt that some small (or not?) percentage of the population do think and act and vote this way.
The rest of us allow them to exist and breed and it will be the end of our species eventually.
Tbf if you think each person here represents their own tribe, it’s not a farfetched story. Tribal warfare happens all the time.
I kind of read it more as the cavemen slowly coming to realize that they are both better off with mutual co-operation rather than that they are better off by simply being greedy, because the risk of the greed was too big. It was in their best self-interest to work with one another, i.e. they were both self-centered, and were still able to co-operate. Sort of some selfish gene type stuff, I guess.
I agree, this is a load of shit. How do we know cavemen communicate in “good enough English” for us to understand?
These are the types that went on to work for wall street.
That’s about all that “civilization” has truly brought us, a chance at more opportunities to steal and hate and kill each other.

They say, typing on a computer brought to them by civilization.
Yes and computer that I got by let’s say, not standard means, and taking it from a person who thought they were going to be able to use it for their kids (I really did snatch it away from them). And I love that about me, I have no pretense about being “better than others.” I know that human civilization is a mask for people’s innate greed, hate and selfishness.
I have no pretense about being “better than others.”
Well that’s good, because it sounds like you’re a lot worse than others.
You should stop projecting and speak for yourself then. You’re not civilizatiom’s mouthpiece. You were not alive when humans walked upright… you won’t be around when we go back to a crawl.
Yeah, no. By the sounds of it, you’re a piece of shit and have no right to speak for anyone but your own shitty self. You’re right about one thing; you’re not better than others, you are far worse. Fuck off projecting your awfulness onto everyone else.
