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 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.
No.

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 agree, this is a load of shit. How do we know cavemen communicate in “good enough English” for us to understand?
