Humanity's Origins Paint Our Ancestors as Lovers, Not Fighters
Briefly

At the heart of scientific questions about the origins of humanity lie questions of human nature. Are Homo sapiens intrinsically lovers or fighters, predators or prey, lucky survivors or inevitable conquerors?
Recent fossil discoveries and genetic findings suggest that the history of humans is intertwined with vanished species like Neandertals and Denisovans, emphasizing the challenges faced by prehistoric ancestors.
Despite the fact that there are over eight billion people today, survival was the primary victory for most of human history, as not everyone managed to thrive.
The history of human evolution is painted with interspecies interactions, showcasing that Denisovans and Neandertals interbred with early modern humans, indicating a complex web of genetic ancestry.
